Latest On Mets’ Pitching Coach Vacancy

By Anthony Franco | November 25, 2019 at 9:57pm CDT

MONDAY: Patterson’s no longer a candidate for the position, according to Andy Martino of SNY. Hefner, on the other hand, “is a very strong candidate to get the job,” per Martino.

SUNDAY:  The Mets have interviewed A’s minor league pitching coordinator Gil Patterson for their pitching coach position, reports ESPN’s Buster Olney. It isn’t clear from the report, however, when Patterson’s interview took place or if he remains in the running.

Patterson recently wrapped up the fourth year of his third separate stint working with A’s farmhands. From 2013-15, he held a similar role with the Yankees, with whom he pitched his only ten MLB games in 1977. Patterson didn’t have a lengthy MLB playing career, but he’s worked in assorted pitching development roles over the past three decades. In addition to his time with the A’s and Yankees, Patterson has coached for the Diamondbacks and Blue Jays in his career, logging three seasons (2002-04) as Toronto’s pitching coach.

Patterson becomes the fourth known candidate for the Mets’ pitching coach job. Brewers’ bullpen coach Steve Karsay, Twins’ assistant pitching coach Jeremy Hefner, and University of Michigan pitching coach Chris Fetter have previously been tied to the role. In other Mets’ news, the club seems likely to bring in veteran coach Hensley Meulens as Carlos Beltrán’s bench coach.

          Whitey is still alive and well. Saw him at last year’s old timers game. He was laughing and making faces. That’s why the Mets interviewed him. He looks like a typical Mets pitching coach.

      So I’m guessing it’s Hosmer in the picture?

    While other teams are being reported on for their player interests the Mets coverage is almost always about their coaching hires.

    The Mets want us to think they are trying to find the right staff to run this team so they are moving at a slow pace while other teams are making moves this way they can say well the guys we wanted have been signed already the Mets arent adding any FA that are high price and we know it its all dumpster pickups the nonsense started with hiring a manager with no experience 4th place finish Mets fans

      That’s a toilet rage comment, if I have ever seen one. Not a comma or period in sight. That’s is kind of hard to do.

    I thought the Mets made a 9 game improvement in BVW’s first year. I always thought that kind of improvement would create enthusiasm going forward.
