Mets' Francisco Lindor Makes Rare Baseball History
Francisco Lindor reached 300 career homers and became the fourth infielder with 300 home runs and 200 stolen bases, according to MLB records.
- On Sunday, Sept. 27, 2026, New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor hit his 300th career home run in the second inning against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park during the final game of the 2026 regular season.
- Lindor is the 11th switch-hitter in MLB history to reach 300 career home runs, according to MLB.com analyst Sarah Langs. After 15 days between blasts, the shortstop finally achieved the milestone after being stuck on 299 for two weeks.
- The five-time All-Star crushed a 3-2 fastball 409 feet to left field with an exit velocity of 110.8 mph. He also became the fourth infielder in MLB history to record at least 300 home runs and 200 stolen bases.
- New York fell 6-4 to Washington in the finale, marking the end of a difficult season for the Mets. The team missed the playoffs for the second consecutive year despite the milestone achievement.
- Heading into the 2027 season, the Mets face potential offseason complications, including a possible lockout. The organization seeks a 'vibes change' after failing to reach the postseason this year.
