Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor hit a walk-off single to cap off a three-run ninth inning for the Tribe, in a 7-6 victory over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night at Progressive Field:
What’s funny is that when this walk-off single happened, I was actually in the middle of working on a post about Lindor, due to a hilarious moment that happened earlier in the game. The Nats’ Danny Espinosa hit a foul ball that completely left the stadium, and Lindor couldn’t believe it. This reaction is fantastic:

And that’s not even the best reaction to a foul ball Lindor’s had this season. You may remember back in April when Lindor had this amazing reaction to a Tampa Bay Rays foul ball getting stuck up on the catwalk at Tropicana Field:

The 22-year-old is very entertaining, and he’s also a full-on superstar already. Over the past calendar year, Lindor has been worth 8.4 wins above replacement according to FanGraphs, behind only Mike Trout and Josh Donaldson for position players.
