Una maravilla, Análisis-Opinión | A marvel, Opinion-Analysis | ESP-ENG
We are already exactly halfway through this 2022 MLB season, and the fight for first place in the ''Eastern'' division of the National League focuses on two teams, old acquaintances who in the past were involved in a rivalry that became a beautiful spectacle, I am talking about the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves that in this season have returned to those battles from the beginning of this century, where the difference between them was minimal, lasting this during An entire season, and well that's exactly what they're doing today and New York's lead over the Georgas is only 2 1/2 games.
UNA MARAVILLA / A MARVEL
But all this does not come alone, each of the teams is well structured for this season, and the case of the Mets even more so, they have reinforced all their lines and have kept one piece on the team, which for many was highly criticized because It cost the organization too much money, but time has taken care of speaking for itself. I'm talking about Puerto Rican shortstop Francisco Lindor, who with his versatility on the pitch has turned out to be a marvel.
A player who occupies such an important position on the field of play as shortstops has provided an incredible balance, because that area represents a lot in this sport, it means part of the central line of a team that must be well constituted, and He is the most faithful example of this, his defense is one of the main weapons and how the team has taken advantage of him.
He is also a player who in particular reminds me a lot of Roberto Alomar, a Puerto Rican second baseman with qualities in the field very similar to those of Lindor, an extraordinary hitter on both sides of the plate and occasional power that makes him a complete hitter and with a virtue that could easily occupy the most important places in a lineup, a true privilege.
In addition to wearing the same dorsal 12 as Alomar, Lindor has the power to hit a home run with both hands, we can remember it in the previous season, in the month of September in a game against the New York Yankees, where he left 3 times for the street, 2 of them on the left side of the plate and one on the right side, demonstrating his great talent in hitting with both hands, being the absolute owner of that game, a player with those qualities who can add more than 30 home runs and towing more than 100 races per season, is synonymous with being an influential character in the development of the team.
Such influence is evident in the performance of their team, they have been able to contain the Atlanta Braves with the absence of 2 of their main pieces in the starting pitching, with a record of 56-34 and with a good percentage in their performance of 622 They are still at the top, I say that because everyone is waiting for the Queen team to fall and so far it has not been like that or at least it will be a bit complicated if you have Francisco Lindor Playing for your team.
If we go to the numbers of this first half of the season, we see that they reflect exactly what we have talked about, he has a batting average of 244 which is not the best but he has an OPS of 752 to accumulate 16 home runs and drive in 65 runs in 89 games, missing only 1, thus becoming the first player to hit with both hands in the history of the National League at shortstop, to bring more than sixty runs to the plate before the All-Star break.
EN MOVIMIENTO / MOVING
Lindor in defense is very versatile, he has a range like no one else, it is very easy to play with him, he covers a lot of space in short stops and is almost a guarantee in the box, with the wood we have already exposed almost everything but in what In particular, I see that he always sets the ball in motion, and is capable of moving or making his teammates move on the bases at any rate, as the first batter, in second place and even third in the order, when it is not with a ticket is with a hit and almost automatically when he places the ball out of the field it means that his team will be on the right track in the game of baseball.
