This was the first time the retired athlete was seen since his recent drug possession arrest.

Dwight Gooden seen near his home in New Jersey.

He’s not looking Amazin’.

A dazed, pot-bellied Dwight Gooden was spotted in New Jersey Tuesday morning — the first public sighting of the Mets icon since The Post broke news of his arrest for cocaine possession.

The troubled former pitcher, 54, sported a white T-shirt stretched across his considerable gut, cargo shorts and socks with sandals as he arrived at his home in Piscataway around noon, looking a little lost.

The four-time All-Star — whose hair is now flecked with white, while his gaunt face is lined with wrinkles — was accompanied by a woman who arrived in a separate vehicle,

As The Post first reported last week, “Doc” Gooden was arrested June 7 when cops in Holmdel pulled him over for driving too slowly on the highway, failing to maintain his lane and having overly tinted windows.

They allegedly found him with two small baggies of suspected cocaine in his car.

Gooden was charged with third-degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance, as well as possession of drug paraphernalia and being under the influence.

He faces three to five years behind bars, if convicted.

The retired ace has a lengthy history with alcohol and drug addiction — including numerous arrests and stints in rehab that tanked his sports career.

The 1984 Rookie of the Year admitted in his 2013 autobiography that he missed the 1986 Mets’ World Series ticker-tape parade in the Big Apple after going on an booze and coke bender the night before.

He then tested positive for cocaine in 1987 during a training camp and entered rehab.

The former Cy Young winner was suspended for the entire 1995 season after testing positive again — then went on to pitch a no-hitter the following year with the Yankees.

He retired in 2001, ultimately going 194-112 with a 3.51 ERA in his 16 major league seasons, which also included stints with the Cleveland Indians, Houston Astros and Tampa Bay Rays.

Gooden served an eight-month stint behind bars in 2006 for violating probation when he showed up high to a meeting with his probation officer.

In 2014, on his 50th birthday, Gooden told The Post he’d been clean and sober for three years.

“I’ve been to rehabs. I’ve been to counseling. I’ve been to jail. I’ve been in prison. The only place I haven’t been yet is the cemetery. That would be my next stop,” he said.

“Part of being an athlete is you saying, ‘I got this. I can fix this.’ So in my mind, even though I’m struggling with this addiction, I know I can fix this, I don’t need help.”

One of his sons, Dwight Jr., on Friday called the former star athlete’s substance abuse problems “very disappointing” and an “unfortunate situation.”
