Following a slow start to the season, the New York Mets superstar was having a productive time at the plate. His performances saw him earn his first All-Star selection as a Met. However, in the past few days, his bat has cooled down once again.

Just like Lindor, Volpe has been having a hard time on the field. The New York Yankees shortstop has made several fielding errors, which have led to his team giving up some crucial runs and losing the games.

On Tuesday, the 24-year-old committed another error from his infield position. His 13th error of the year tied him with Willy Adames for the most errors by a player this season.

As the Yankees’ star struggles with his form, the Mets’ shortstop offered some support to him and called him a “good player.”

Every year, we’re gonna go through it at some point. I don’t care who you are. You have to understand you’re not as bad as the moment and you’re not as good as the moment, either. You have to stay the course and everything will level out. He’s a good player. You just have to grind. He’s a great defensive shortstop and when you’re not hitting well, you can rely on good defense. It’s the same thing with me. That’s what you focus on.

Francisco Lindor said as per the New York Post

In the game on Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays, Volpe would bat 9th in the lineup. After going 0-for-3 in his side’s 5-4 win, his batting average dropped to .212 for the season.
