The New York Mets shortstop, Francisco Lindor is primed for a bounceback season. The four-time all-star had a rough first season in the orange and blue. The 28-year-old is too good to not regain his form, and fans should expect big things from Lindor in 2022.

Lindor has been one of the best shortstops in the league for most of his career. Just last year,Tim Kelly of Audacy ranked the Mets star third among the MLB's best shortstops going into 2021.
