Offseason [edit]

Shortly after the 2011 season ended, the Mets made changes to their coaching staff, keeping only pitching coach Dan Warthen and hitting coach Dave Hudgens. 3rd base coach Chip Hale went to the Oakland Athletics to join manager Bob Melvin.^[1] General Manager Sandy Alderson said that the "changes were necessary for us to move forward."^[2] Former A's manager Bob Geren was named to replace Hale.^[3]

New additions will improve the depth of the bullpen, that was known to be sub-par in relief in the 2011 season.^[4] They added reliever Ramon Ramírez,and center fielder Andrés Torres, in exchange for the starting centerfielder Ángel Pagán. They also signed Frank Francisco, who will be their closer. They also added Jon Rauch, who is the tallest current player in the MLB, and will be the set-up man for Francisco.

For 2012, the Mets made several construction changes to Citi Field's dimensions. In center field a new 8 foot wall was built in front of the 16 foot wall, coined by fans as,"The Great Wall of Flushing."^[5] In right field a new wall in front of the existing Mo's Zone was also built.

The Mets overhauled their uniforms for 2012. The cream colored pinstriped uniform became the primary home uniform, while the snow white uniforms serves as the alternate home uniform. The black drop-shadows were removed from the pinstriped, snow white and road gray jerseys and the black two toned cap has been retired. The black jersey and all black cap was worn on a limited basis on the road and was retired at the end of the season. The Mets wore two patches, one commemorating the team's 50th anniversary and another honoring Gary Carter, who died of brain cancer on February 16, 2012.^[6]

Regular season [edit]

The Mets began their 2012 season with a surprising three-game sweep of the Atlanta Braves. The Mets outscored the Braves 12 to 6 in the series. During that series, Frank Francisco became the third player in Major League history to record a save in every game of a season-opening series of three or more games. following Derrick Turnbow of the Milwaukee Brewers in 2006 and Salomón Torres of the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2007.^[7]

On June 1, Johan Santana made club history by becoming the first Mets pitcher to throw a no-hitter in an 8-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. This was also the first no-hitter to be pitched against a defending World Series champion since a former Met, Nolan Ryan, did so against the Oakland Athletics in their 1990 pennant season while with the Texas Rangers.^[8]^[9]

On June 27, the Mets became the first team in major league baseball to hit a home run cycle, against the Chicago Cubs. Daniel Murphy began by hitting a 2-run home run to knock in himself and runner Ike Davis in the 4th inning, which was his first home run in 352 at-bats. Then in the 5th inning Ike Davis hit a 3-run home run with David Wright and Lucas Duda on base. Later in the inning, Daniel Murphy hit a solo shot in his next plate appearance off of Casey Coleman, who replace starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija. The Mets led the Cubs 10-1 after the end of the 5th. During the 6th inning, Scott Hairston, who was typically a utility outfielder throughout the first half of the season, hit the cycle ending grand slam off of relief pitcher Casey Coleman, scoring himself, Rubén Tejada, David Wright, and Lucas Duda. The game ended after 9 innings, at a score of 17 to 1.^[10]

R.A. Dickey won the 2012 Cy Young Award, becoming the first knuckleball pitcher to do so.
