Baseball rarely takes a straight path, and 2025 proved it again. The Mets finished 83–79, a single win short of October, falling out on the last day after losing the tiebreaker. It was a season that teased greatness, then reminded everyone how thin that line can be.
Bronx slip and fall lawyers care about keeping people safe at stadiums and around the city. Here’s a look back at the Mets’ best stretches, the rough midsummer slide, a few standout performances, and what the club must fix heading into 2026.
The Highs: Spring Surge and Star Power
The Mets started hot and loud. By mid-June, they sat 45–24, and playoff models gave them almost a sure shot. A seven-game home streak, capped by wins over division rivals, turned Citi Field into a party. Fans stood for every late-inning pitch; the park felt alive again.
Francisco Lindor led the charge, batting .267/.346/.466 with 31 homers, 31 steals, and his usual highlight-reel defense. Pete Alonso followed suit with 38 home runs and 126 RBIs, a middle-order hammer who rarely took a day off. One May night summed it up: Lindor dove for a grounder, popped up, and threw a dart to first. The crowd roared, orange towels spinning — belief was back.
The Lows: The Summer Collapse
Then came June 12. Kodai Senga pulled a hamstring and the season tilted. Though he returned, his command never quite did, and the rotation began to fray. The bullpen, stretched thin, leaked leads that once felt safe.
Losing streaks followed — seven games here, four there — and tiebreaker losses to Cincinnati stung most. The front office scrambled at the deadline, adding relievers like Ryan Helsley and Tyler Rogers. Rogers held steady; Helsley fought command. By late August the injuries piled up. Frankie Montas went down for elbow surgery, depth disappeared, and hope started to fade.
On the final Sunday in Miami, the Mets were shut out 4–0. A summer that began with fireworks ended in silence.
Standout Players & Key Stats
Lindor’s consistency kept the club afloat. Thirty-one homers, 31 steals, and top-tier defense made him one of the most complete players in baseball. Alonso, ever the metronome, produced power and protection, finishing with a .272 average and a .519 slugging percentage.
Before the injury, Senga posted a 3.02 ERA in 22 starts, the ace New York needed. Clay Holmes chipped in with a 3.53 ERA and heavy strikeout totals out of the bullpen. Behind them, the numbers dipped: the staff ERA climbed past four by September, and innings became scarce. One late-season call-up — a young right-hander fans barely knew — delivered a few crucial outings, a reminder that small wins matter even when the standings say otherwise.
What’s Next for New York Fans in 2026
Manager Carlos Mendoza is expected back, though whispers suggest tweaks to his coaching crew. The front office faces harder calls: Edwin Díaz’s option year, Alonso’s possible free-agency test, and a rotation in need of real reinforcements.
Pitching depth tops the list. The Mets can’t ride another season on hope and duct tape. Recoveries for Montas and other injured arms will shape how aggressive the winter gets. Expect at least one frontline starter pursuit and a rebuilt bullpen. Bench depth and outfield flexibility are also priorities. Anything short of a strong April will draw noise from the seven train to the Bronx.
Safety at the Ballpark: Local Fan Tips & Legal Note
Citi Field is one of baseball’s friendliest parks, but big crowds bring real-world hazards. Concourse corners get slick from spilled beer; stairways back up after walk-off wins. When leaving, watch curbs near the parking lots and use handrails on the 7-line stairs.
Legally speaking, stadiums and their operators must maintain safe premises. If poor lighting, uneven flooring, or a lack of warning signs causes injury, document everything — photos, witnesses, and medical reports. Then report it to the venue staff right away. We can review the circumstances and explain whether a stadium-liability claim applies. A few quick actions on site can make all the difference later.
Conclusion
The 2025 Mets walked the familiar line between potential and frustration. Lindor, Alonso, and a strong spring gave fans hope; injuries and thin pitching closed the door. Still, the core is intact, and with smart off-season moves, 2026 could tilt the other way.
