The 2017 season was a forgettable one for the St. Lucie Mets. The team ended the first half with a 33-35 record and the second half with a 30-40 record, making them 63-75 for the year. Both the offense and pitching were suspect to begin with, and injuries and ineffectiveness sapped both even further. While there were a handful of bright spots, such as Peter Alonso establishing himself as one of the Mets’ top hitting prospects, it was a poor year overall down in Florida.
The St. Lucie Mets will open the 2018 on Thursday, April 5th against the Bradenton Marauders, the Double-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
