Francisco Lindor, a probable Hall of Famer 

Lindor is 31 now and has a few more years on the field. Going by his figures through the age-30 season, he is a true contender for the Hall of Fame. How? Well, Right now, Lindor is ranked #20 on the JAWS shortstop ranking. So, he is on the right path to get ahead of a few existing HOFamers. Lindor needs 18.1 more bWAR to reach the average WAR of the 23 shortstops who are inducted into the Hall of Fame. It’s highly likely by his age-34 season. For reference, he has recorded bWAR seasons of 5.6, 6.0, and 6.9 during the previous three seasons. 

In terms of total runs scored, Lindor can go beyond the 2,000 hit, 350 home runs, and 1,000 RBI milestones. For this, he would need a little more than three seasons if he averages 150 hits annually. Touching the 2000 hit would make him the fourth shortstop in history to reach the milestones of 2,000 hits, 350 home runs, and 1,000 RBIs. Cal Ripken Jr., Ernie Banks, and Alex Rodriguez were the other three. In addition, Lindor, 31, has already earned 2x Gold Gloves, 4x Silver Sluggers, a Platinum Glove, and 4x All-Star game appearances. Enough to get the ticket to Cooperstown. 

Francisco Lindor is in a great state of mind currently. The Mets can expect him to reach further heights this year. A few towering homers are about to get started.
