Eric Chavez is reportedly set to serve as the New York Mets' co-hitting coach during the 2024 MLB season.
According to SNY's Andy Martino, Chavez will team with incumbent hitting coach Jeremy Barnes to help guide the Mets' offense.
Chavez was the Mets' hitting coach in 2022, but he was moved to bench coach alongside then-manager Buck Showalter last season. That prompted the Mets to hire Barnes as Chavez's replacement.
Now, under new manager Carlos Mendoza, the Mets will have two hitting coaches. Mendoza has yet to announce who will replace Chavez as bench coach, however.
