Francisco Lindor began the season 0-for-11 in the first month of the season with the New York Mets .

The leadoff man is now hitting five home runs and a972 OPS to help propel the Mets to the best record in the majors at 18-7 .

Lindor is playing like one of the sport's most dynamic stars -- much earlier on the calendar than he usually does.

Lindor 's 8.8 fWAR over the past calendar year is the highest in the National League , trailing only Aaron Judge's and Bobby Witt Jr.'s across all of baseball.

His hot start this season could finally produce his first All-Star nod as a Met .

Lindor signed a 10-year , $341 million extension to serve as a franchise cornerstone.
