Where Mets Rank in 2025

Homeruns by an MLB Shortstop

1) Cal Ripken Jr.: 353

2) Alex Rodriguez: 345

3) Ernie Banks: 298

4) Miguel Tejada: 285

　[MetsBlue]Francisco Lindor Projected to End of Season: 265.05[/MetsBlue]

5) Derek Jeter: 260

6) Francisco Lindor: 250

　[MetsOrange]Francisco Lindor at Start of Season: 248[/MetsOrange]

[MetsBlue]　Corey Seagar Projected to End of Season: 235.11[/MetsBlue]

7) Jimmy Rollins: 231

8) Troy Tulowitzki: 225

9) Vern Stephens: 214

10) Corey Seager: 204

Earlier reporting suggested that Francisco passed former Met José Valentín in homers by a shortstop, but this list includes homers hit only as a shorstop, which knocks José back to 17th on the list, with 173.

[MFS62]

I had forgotten that Miggy played shortstop. BR lists him at 5-9, 220 lbs, but he led the league with 159 games played there at age 35 (2009).

Rodriguez should have hit many more as a shortstop but, you know, Jeter.

It will give me great joy when Lindor passes Derek.

METS HOME RUN LEADERS

Francisco Lindor's next home run will knock Todd Hundley out of the Top Ten. And Lucas Duda's spot in the Top Ten is in jeopardy as well, with Brandon Nimmo coming on.

Also, Pete Alonso is now only four behind David Wright for second place.

1. Darryl Strawberry 252

2. David Wright 242

3. Pete Alonso 238

4. Mike Piazza 220

5. Howard Johnson 192

6. Dave Kingman 154

7. Carlos Beltran 149

8. Michael Conforto 132

9. Lucas Duda 125

10. Todd Hundley 124

10. Francisco Lindor 124

12. Kevin McReynolds 122

13. Edgardo Alfonzo 120

14. Brandon Nimmo 119

15. Ed Kranepool 118

19. Curtis Granderson 9

METS HIT LEADERS

There's a cluster of active Mets in the Top Twenty, all poised to knock Carlos Beltran down a few notches sometime this season. Lindor, with 664 hits, is currently in 26th place.

1. David Wright 1,777

2. Jose Reyes 1,534

3. Ed Kranepool 1,418

METS SAVE LEADERS

Edwin Diaz recently moved past Jay-or-Reese Familia to claim third place. Getting to second place this season is possible, but he'll have to pick up the pace.

1. John Franco 276

2. Armando Benitez 160

3. Edwin Diaz 129

4. Jeurys Familia 124

5. Jesse Orosco 107

Pete now only two home runs away from tying David Wright for second place.

[Frayed Knot]

Pete now only two home runs away from tying David Wright for second place.

 

And now he's no HRs away from tying Wright.

With Pete's HR pace picking up lately, the timing for the tie-Straw and break-Straw now projects to occur in late July. It was mid-August last time I checked.

At his current HR pace for the year, #252 is slated for game #105 on 7/28, right in the middle of the remaining west coast swing to SF & SD, with #253

slated for four to five days later when the club is back home.

[Frayed Knot]

In your previous post I meant to add the caveat that the above projection dates were based on Pete not hitting any more HRs today.

So ignore everything I wrote above ... y'know, like most of you usually do.

[ashie62]

I read your post

[Benjamin Grimm]

With his home run last night, Juan Soto now has 13 homers as a Met, putting him in a tie for 148th place with Dave Marshall, Ellis Valentine, Matt Franco, Roberto Alomar, Eric Valent, Moises Alou, and James McCann.

Hmmmm...

Maybe this isn't as interesting as I originally thought.

But... Dave Marshall!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Juan Soto has walked 72 times, and the Mets have played 92 games. He's on a pace to walk 126.78 times this season, although it's unlikely he'll finish with that exact amount. The club record for walks in a season is 125, by John Olerud in 1999. No one else has come close. The next highest total is 97, by Keith Hernandez in 1984 and Darryl Strawberry in 1997.

Meanwhile, Pete Alonso is now only five home runs shy of Strawberry's all-time club record. Brandon Nimmo recently became the 14th Met to have 900 hits. (He's currently at 905.) And Francisco Lindor became the 12th Met to steal 100 bases.

1. Jose Reyes 408

2. Mookie Wilson 281

3. Howard Johnson 202

4. David Wright 196

5. Darryl Strawberry 191

6. Lee Mazzilli 152

7. Lenny Dykstra 116

8. Bud Harrelson 115

9. Wally Backman 106

10. Roger Cedeno 105

11. Carlos Beltran 100

11. Francisco Lindor 100

[Edgy MD]

Jeff McNeil's homerun this evening was his 78th as a Met. It breaks a tie with Robin Ventura, giving him sole possession of 27th place all-time as a Met.

Mark Vientos' homerun this evening was his 46th as a Met. It breaks a tie with Donn Clendenon, and ties him with John Stearns, Dom Smith, and Jay Bruce for 47th place all-time as a Met.

Juan Soto's homerun this evening was his 31st as a Met. It breaks a tie with Lenny Dykstra, and ties him with Ken Boswell for 76th place all-time as a Met.

Brett Baty's homerun this evening was his 29th as a Met. It breaks a tie with Joe Christopher, and ties him with Mo Vaughn and Ty Wigginton for 796th place all-time as a Met.

[Cowtipper]

McNeil is one double away from tying Darryl Strawberry for 9th all-time in club history. Brandon Nimmo is 3 away from tying Strawberry. Nimmo is also likely to move into the top 10 in plate appearances, bumping Mookie Wilson out of the ranking. Nimmo is one triple away from tying Cleon Jones for fourth all-time in team history.

[Edgy MD]

Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo have been climbing as impressively as Alonso this season.

I guess next up for Pete is to chase Gil Hodges and Mel Ott for the New York National League record, if he chooses to accept that mission.

Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo have been climbing as impressively as Alonso this season.

 

It is not hard to imagine a time in the not-too-distant future in which spots 1-4 on this leaderboard are held (in some order) by Alonso, Lindor, Nimmo, and Soto.

[Edgy MD]

Vientos, Álvarez, Baty will be 5-through-7.

Amazing — all those super-athletic and super-swift shortstops and centerfielders, and Juan Soto on top of the pack.

Leading the league in walks, OBP, and stolen bases — Juan may just be the best leadoff hitter in the league without ever batting leadoff.

Here's hoping he doesn't over-reach going for the sole lead (or round number) tomorrow.
