Offseason

Regular season

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 hitting 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]
