for the New York Mets
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).
