The 1994 New York Mets season was the 33rd attempt at a regular season for the Mets. They went 55–58 and finished third in the National League East. They were managed by Dallas Green. They played home games at Shea Stadium. The season was cut short by the 1994 player's strike.

Offseason

[edit]

Regular season

[edit]

By Friday, August 12, the Mets had compiled a 55-58 record through 113 games. They had scored 521 runs (4.48 per game) and allowed 526 runs (4.65 per game).[9]

The Mets struggled in a few offensive areas, finishing 28th in the Majors in both stolen bases (25) and on-base percentage (.316). In spite of these numbers, the Mets had good power, slamming 117 home runs in 113 games, while grounding into just 70 double plays (the fewest in the Majors) and being hit by pitches an MLB-high 52 times.[10]

Jeff Kent's .292 average led the team, as did his 68 RBI. Bobby Bonilla led five Mets with double-digit home run totals with 20. Ryan Thompson added 18, Todd Hundley 16, Kent 14, and David Segui 10.

After two injury-filled and disappointing years, Bret Saberhagen emerged as the ace of the Mets' staff with a 14-4 record. Bobby Jones recorded 12 wins in his first full season in the rotation, and John Franco stayed healthy enough to record 30 saves.

The news was not all positive. After struggling in his first seven starts, Dwight Gooden was suspended for 60 days after a positive test for cocaine. While on suspension he tested positive again and the suspension was extended to the entire 1995 season. Thus, 1994 was his final season as a Met.
