The Mets appear to be shaking up their coaching staff. This afternoon, it was reported that Pat Roessler will not be retained as the Mets’ hitting coach for the 2019 season. Roessler first joined the Mets in 2015, when he became assistant hitting coach after serving as the Yankees’ director of player development for nearly a decade. Well respected in the game, especially among the current crop of young Yankees prospects, Roessler was promoted to hitting coach under Mickey Callaway, succeeding Kevin Long. Along with Long, Roessler is credited with helping Daniel Murphy develop into an elite hitter toward the end of his Mets tenure.
