Mets Hire Dave Eiland As Pitching Coach, Promote Pat Roessler To Hitting Coach

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Mets’ coaching staff under new manager Mickey Callaway will include some news faces as well as some familiar ones.

The team will name Dave Eiland as pitching coach and promote Pat Roessler from assistant hitting coach to hitting coach, WFAN baseball insider Jon Heyman confirmed.

Meanwhile, the Mets are expected to retain bullpen coach Ricky Bones and third-base coach Glenn Sherlock, Newsday reported.

Callaway is still looking for a bench coach, first-base coach and a new assistant hitting coach. Neither Dick Scott nor Tom Goodwin — the bench coach and first-base coach under Terry Collins — are expected to return, according to Newsday.
