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.[1] 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.[2] They retained their affiliation with the New York Mets.[3] 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.[4]

They have won the Florida State League championship six times (1988, 1996, 1998, 2003, 2006, and 2022).
