Francisco Lindor

Okay, I'll just say it: Francisco Lindor might be the most fun guy to watch in all of baseball, and "Mr. Smile" is the rare nickname that's completely earned. The man plays shortstop like the position was invented for him, ranging up the middle and flipping throws across the diamond with that effortless flash, and then he turns around and beats you from both sides of the plate as a switch hitter. The Gold Glove and Silver Slugger tell you he can field it and rake, but the numbers undersell the vibe. There's a joy to how he plays, this Puerto Rican kid from Caguas who clearly still loves the game like it's a backyard. He took the leap from Cleveland to the bright lights of New York and the Mets, and honestly, I just want to watch him grin and make plays forever.
