Story summary

On Sunday, Francisco Lindor of the New York Mets hit his 300th career home run during the team's season finale against the Washington Nationals in Washington, D.C. This milestone makes him the 172nd player in MLB history to reach this mark and the seventh to do so this season. The homer was a significant achievement for Lindor, who had been sitting at 299 since hitting two home runs on September 12th against the Yankees. Despite struggling with injuries earlier in the year—missing about two months due to a calf strain—he managed to hit 21 homers and post a .732 OPS for the season. Lindor acknowledged that his trainers, both at the Mets and previously in Cleveland, played a crucial role in his ability to stay healthy long enough to achieve this milestone.
