It was the fourth straight season with Pedro Lopez as the manager for the B’Mets, they have made the postseason in three of them and won the League Championship in 2014. Former big league pitcher Glenn Abbott was the pitching coach for the fifth straight season. Luis Natera returned to Binghamton after being New York Mets assistant hitting coach in 2014.

Dario Alvarez, Cecchini, Nimmo, Sewald, Cessa, and J-Rod were named Eastern League All-Stars with Cecchini also receiving Rookie of the Year honors.

The B’Mets had a very good season considering they saw their ace (Fulmer) traded midseason for Yoenis Cespedes while also losing key bullpen peice Matt Koch in the Addison Reed trade. Also had their outfield dismantled with the MLB promotion of Conforto and Nimmo moving up to AAA.
