The 1983 New York Mets season was the 22nd regular season for the Mets. They went 68–94 and finished in sixth place in the National League East, twenty-two games behind the first place Philadelphia Phillies. The Mets were managed by George Bamberger and Frank Howard. They played home games at Shea Stadium.
Even though they finished with 94 losses, this Mets team showed the beginnings of what would be a contender for the next decade. Darryl Strawberry made his debut and on June 15 the Mets would get Keith Hernandez from St. Louis to start putting the veteran pieces together for what would be the 1986 Championship team.
This would be the last time the Mets would finish in last place until 1993.
