New York Mets superstar Francisco Lindor further proved on Wednesday night why his not being a Gold Glove finalist is absolutely ridiculous.

During Game 3 of the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Lindor stunned the fans at Citi Field. He snagged a Mookie Betts hit in the top of the fifth inning and somehow threw Betts from the other side of the diamond out before he got to first base.

Even the broadcast noted how silly it is that Lindor somehow didn't make the shortlist for the Gold Glove this year.

This play cements what a missed opportunity it was to honor Lindor for his outstanding season in the outfield. New York will take plays like this every day of the week, though.
