The Mets have released an updated spring training schedule for 2022, including fifteen games over eighteen days. Games will begin on April 19, when New York visits Washington at 6:05 pm EST at The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach, FL.
Clover Park gets its first taste of game action the following day when the Cardinals roll into Port St. Lucie, FL, to take on the Amazins. First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 pm EST.
All eight Mets home games will be televised, SNY says. Six will be on SNY, and two will be on PIX 11. Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling will all be in attendance for the first televised game on March 20 versus the Cardinals.
A shortened spring training means the Mets will face just four different opponents before heading to Washington, D.C., to take on the Nationals on April 7. Washington is one of the four spring opponents, including Houston, St. Louis, and Miami, the four geographically closest MLB training sites to Port St. Lucie.
The Mets scheduled six late evening start times, another interesting quirk of the newly released schedule. Typically, spring training games are played in the early afternoons, allowing veterans to get their work in and head home. Leaving us to wonder, when will anyone be able to get a round of golf in?
Tickets for all home Spring Training games go on sale on Monday, March 14 at 10:00 am EST.
