The New York Mets have an exciting line-up for 2022. And with their hitters all warming up in Spring Training, 2022 could be the year when they finally make the leap to a World Series contender. The Mets have seen a real step up this year; with pitching talents aplenty and the hitters finding their grove too, the New York Mets are the team to beat. And shortstop Francisco Lindor seemed to be making contact with just the right pitches.

The New York Mets took on the St. Louis Cardinals in a spring training encounter that saw Lindor hit two massive home runs. With the shortstop taking the home plate and batting both left and right-handed, he seemed to be hitting form just as Opening Day closes in for the Mets. And his two biggest hits to have rung the home-run counters for what they are worth.
