Hernandez, 71, lost his focus on the match as the cameras cut away to a pickleball match in Florida during a break in the Mets action.
The match featured a man and a woman playing the racket sport.
The man was running without a shirt on and the woman was wearing a bikini top and compression shorts.
This seemed to distract two-time World Series champion Hernandez.
He asked: “What are they doing?”
His co-commentator Gary Cohen could be heard chuckling,
To which Hernandez then admitted: “I’m distracted.”
The moment was picked up on by fans as it was clipped and share on social media.
One fan described Hernandez as in “midseason form”.
A second wrote: “The day Keith Hernandez retires from the broadcast booth will be a National Day of Mourning.”
A third commented: “Never change Keith.”
A fourth said: “Keith is the best.”
Another added: “Keith is a national treasure.”
Meanwhile, the Mets will start the regular season on March 27.
They will begin their campaign with a three-game trip away at Houston.
Following that they will play the Marlins in Miami three times before returning to New York
Their first home match will come against the Blue Jays on April 4.
