A team that finished 23rd in the majors with 676 runs scored has found its fall guy.
Pat Roessler will not be back as Mets hitting coach. Roessler had been with the team since the 2015 season, originally brought on as an assistant hitting coach before last season’s promotion. Assistant hitting coach Tom Slater will remain in his role.
Additionally, bullpen coach Ricky Bones will be reassigned within the organization, The Post’s Mike Puma reported.
The Mets offense, which did deal with injury after injury, struggled under the 58-year-old baseball lifer. It took until late in the season for promising bats Amed Rosario and Michael Conforto to come around.
