Since the Home Run Derby was instituted as a yearly All-Star event in 1985, there have been twelve events with one of the New York Mets competing. Only five Mets have participated in the derby, with Darryl Strawberry, Howard Johnson, David Wright, and Pete Alonso all competing more than once, and Bobby Bonilla appearing in the 1993 Derby.
Historically, the Mets are one of the more successful clubs in the Derby, having had players win three contests, second to only the Yankees and tied with five other clubs. Pete Alonso is the all-time Home Run Derby leader, hitting 207 home runs over five seasons.
