Overview
- The interview was reported by the New York Post, and no hire has been announced.
- The Mets are expected to add at least one coach to work under Albert, who was elevated earlier this month to director of major-league hitting.
- The Tigers are also reported to have interest in Snitker for a hitting role.
- Snitker was an Astros hitting coach from 2019 to 2025, part of the 2022 championship staff before being dismissed in a post-2025 purge after Houston’s offense ranked 21st in runs and tied for 14th in OPS.
- Albert and Snitker previously overlapped in the Astros’ minor-league system from 2016 through 2018.
