Summary
Francisco Lindor was named the 2026 Roberto Clemente Award winner on Monday, giving the Mets shortstop MLB’s annual honor for community impact.
The award recognized Lindor’s charitable work, including financial support for Puerto Rico disaster relief and a New Balance partnership that provides school supplies to students.
Lindor said the recognition could give him a bigger platform to keep helping, adding that athletes are active in their communities rather than distant from the public.
The Roberto Clemente Award is presented each season to one player for philanthropic efforts off the field.
