Part 2/7:
A consensus has emerged among fans and analysts that Francisco Lindor should lead off the Mets lineup. His performance in that spot last season was outstanding, and the rationale is simple: more at-bats for one of the team's top hitters means more opportunities to impact the game. Following him, So-Do is expected to be in the number two position. This arrangement allows the Mets to maximize their top hitters’ plate appearances, a strategy that many agree is sound.
