The St. Lucie Mets are a Minor League Baseball team of the Florida State League and the Single-A affiliate of the New York Mets. They are located in Port St. Lucie, Florida, and play their home games at Clover Park. The Mets have been members of the Florida State League since their founding in 1988. They originally competed at the Class A level before being elevated to Class A-Advanced in 1990.
In conjunction with Major League Baseball's restructuring of Minor League Baseball in 2021, the Mets were organized into the Low-A Southeast at the Low-A classification. They retained their affiliation with the New York Mets. In 2022, the Low-A Southeast became known as the Florida State League, the name historically used by the regional circuit prior to the 2021 reorganization, and was reclassified as a Single-A circuit.
They have won the Florida State League championship six times (1988, 1996, 1998, 2003, 2006, and 2022).
