Hunter Mense is leaving the San Francisco Giants to become an assistant hitting coach for the Kansas City Royals, according to sources. Mense spent just one season as the Giants' hitting coach under manager Tony Vitello after previously serving four seasons as an assistant hitting coach for the Toronto Blue Jays.
The move allows Mense, a Missouri native, to be closer to his family, as his wife works as a dietician for the Kansas City Chiefs. His departure leaves Oscar Bernard as the Giants' lone hitting coach while the organization works to fill the vacancy.
