MLB 2022 season

The 2022 Spring Training is a perfect mode of training for players, especially Pete Alonso. With just 4 games left in Spring Training, the players will make every minute count. If we look at the performance of the New York Mets in Spring Training, the Mets have played 11 games so far. In that, the Mets won 6 games while losing 5.

Apart from that, the Mets belong to one of the most dangerous divisions in the MLB National League, the NL East Division. This division includes teams like the Atlanta Braves, the Philadelphia Phillies, the Washington Nationals, the Miami Marlins, and the New York Mets.

Wow! Now that is one hefty division. The 2022 Opening Day is just a few days from here, and manager Buck Showalter exactly knows how to make these days count. The New York Mets will be facing the Washington Nationals on April 7th, 2022, at the Nationals Park located in Washington, D.C., USA.

What will the NL East Division look after the MLB 2022 season? Will the Mets lead the division by dominating the other 4 teams? Many questions and the answer is only one: the 2022 Opening Day.
