The New York Mets have secured their first member of new manager Carlos Beltran’s coaching staff. They are retaining Chili Davis as hitting coach on a multi-year deal. Davis is a holdover from the Mickey Callaway regime and was a key part of the Mets offensive successes in 2019.
Chili Davis is back with the Mets as hitting coach on a two-year contract. Phillies’ interest in him possibly ensured the multi-year deal.

Davis was also the favorite to land the hitting coach position for the Philadelphia Phillies under Joe Girardi.
