2025 Minor League Preview: St. Lucie Mets
The 2024 St. Lucie Mets season left much to be desired. The team went 22-44 in the first half and 23-40 in the second half, good for a 45-85 record overall. St. Lucie was the youngest team in the Florida State League and one of the youngest in all of Single-A baseball with an average age of 21.4 for pitchers and 20.1 for hitters, and with youth comes inexperience. That is not to say that there weren’t standouts- Nick Morabito and Jonah Tong both put up video game numbers during their time with the team early in the season- but on the whole, St. Lucie’s hitters and pitchers struggled, as the team posted a second-to-last .646 cumulative OPS and a second-to-last 4.57 cumulative ERA.
