## Key points

- Johnny Washington will join the Mets as co-hitting coach.
- He has worked with manager Andy Green at two previous clubs.
- The Mets will honour Jerry Koosman with a 2027 uniform patch.

## Summary

The Mets are appointing Johnny Washington as a co-hitting coach, drawing on his previous work with manager Andy Green in San Diego and Chicago. The hire adds an experienced coach to the major-league staff as the team reshapes its hitting group.

Washington was the Padres’ first-base coach before becoming an assistant hitting coach and then hitting coach; he later held roles with the Cubs and Angels, and most recently coordinated minor-league hitting for the Braves. Troy Snitker and Rafael Fernández are staying, while former director of hitting Jeff Albert will not return to the major-league role. The article also reports that the Mets will wear a memorial patch for Jerry Koosman in 2027: he died aged 83 and was the franchise’s winningest left-handed pitcher.
