The Mets are hiring Troy Snitker to be the team's new hitting coach, league sources tell SNY's MLB Insider Andy Martino. Snitker, the son of former Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker, had been a hitting coach in the Houston Astros' organization since the 2016 season, working with the big league team as hitting coach beginning in 2019. He was let go following the 2025 regular season.
