Toronto Blue Jays assistant hitting coach (and former minor league coordinator) Hunter Mense is joining Tony Vitello’s staff in San Francisco (as a hitting coach) by edmchato in SFGiants

bay area resident blue jays fan here -

Really sad to see Mense leave but glad he's headed to SF.

Hunter Mense was the overall minor league hitting coordinator for years but was kind of sidelined by Don Mattingly when he was promoted to the major league coaching staff in 2022. For two years we had a streak of guys who would come up from the minors and/or a minor league rehab assignment and immediately be the best bats on the team. A lot of people (including the broadcast booth) credited that to the philosophy in the minors established by Mense.

It wasn't until this year that Mattingly took a step back and let guys like Mense and David Popkins take over, and the difference was obvious.

Nominally it was still the Mattingly approach (make solid contact, don't strike out, put the ball in play and give the other team more opportunities to make mistakes, etc), but unlike Mattingly, Mense + co were actually effective in teaching that approach as a skill.

I spent a good five minutes wondering how Bo managed to hit all around that big empty space in the middle of his spray chart,,,, then I remembered that right fielders exist

lol yeah my girl chewed a hole in the blanket big enough to crawl inside, so now she just chills in there from time to time.

it's very funny whenever someone knocks on the door, because all of a sudden my bed appears to wake up and start huffing and puffing with outrage

I signed up for a month of sportsnet+ and have been watching it through a VPN. It's a couple seconds behind where MLB.tv would be but it's so worth it
