Francisco Lindor can’t figure out Max Fried.
The Mets star will face the Yankees ace in the series finale of the Subway Series at Citi Field on Sunday, and he’s hoping for a bit more luck than he’s previously had against the left-hander.
Lindor has had about as tough a time against Fried as any pitcher in baseball.
In 31 career plate appearances against Fried, Lindor has just three hits and no walks, slashing .097/.097/.194, although he does have a homer off the southpaw.
That’s the lowest batting average Lindor has against any pitcher he’s faced at least 16 times in his career.
He’s been nearly as bad against the Yankees’ bullpen, too, hitting .131 in 38 combined at-bats against Pinstripe relievers.
Lindor also comes into this game on a prolonged skid, so much so that Mets manager Carlos Mendoza moved him down to No. 2 in the order earlier this week.
Over his last 30 games heading into Saturday, Lindor is hitting just .210.
In 14 of those games, Lindor has gone completely hitless.
