Francisco Lindor Joins Elite 30-30 Club for Second Time in Career

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor achieved a significant career milestone, joining the exclusive 30-30 club for the second time after hitting his 30th home run of the season. This solo shot contributed to the Mets' 8-5 win over the Chicago Cubs. Lindor's accomplishment, paired with 30 stolen bases, marks a historic moment for the 2025 Mets, as he and Juan Soto are only the third pair of teammates to achieve 30-30 seasons simultaneously. It also signifies the first time in franchise history that three players (Lindor, Soto, and Pete Alonso) have hit 30 home runs in a single season. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised Lindor as an "elite player," while Lindor humbly credited his "good teammates."
