Buck Showalter made quite the opening impression, helping the New York Mets finish 101-61 to become the first Mets manager in history to help the team eclipse the 100-win mark in his first season as manager.
“Buck poured every ounce of himself into making the Mets better on a daily basis,” Mets general manager Billy Eppler said in a statement. “I’m thrilled the voters recognized what I got to witness every day this season.”When Showalter entered the clubhouse for the first time last spring, lofty expectations were there after a strong free agent haul that brought Max Scherzer, Starling Marte and Chris Bassitt, among others, on board.
Then, on the eve of the season, came the news of Jacob deGrom's extended absence following a stress reaction in his right shoulder blade. Despite long-term injuries to deGrom and Scherzer in the opening two months of the season, the Mets hit the ground running, won nine of their opening 10 series and opened up a 10.5-game lead in the NL East after the opening two months.
Throughout the season, the Mets never lost more than three games in a row while piecing together a season-best seven-game win streak in July and August along with three other six-game win streaks. The NL East pennant chase captivated baseball fans, with the Mets and Braves each winning 101 games but the latter ultimately grabbing the crown with the tiebreaker.Despite being hit a major-league record 112 times, the Mets often kept the steady discipline that was molded by Showalter.
Snitker helped several players make impressive leaps in 2022, including pitcher Kyle Wright who led the league with 21 wins, and Rookie of the Year Michael Harris and rookie Spencer Strider, who both showcased superstar potential in their first seasons.
