Francisco Lindor hit his 300th career home run in the second inning of the New York Mets' season finale against the Washington Nationals on Sunday. The blast came off left-hander DJ Herz's 92.9 mph fastball, traveling 409 feet into the left-field seats. It was Lindor's 21st homer of the 2026 season and his first since September 12.

He became the third primary shortstop in MLB history to reach 300 home runs, joining Cal Ripken Jr. and Miguel Tejada. Lindor, a five-time All-Star, has hit 162 home runs since the Mets acquired him before the 2021 season. He is the 172nd player overall to achieve the milestone and the seventh to do so in the 2026 season, following Pete Alonso, Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, Matt Olson, Marcell Ozuna, and George Springer.
