The Royals have added Hunter Mense to the hitting staff for 2027, a local guy who was a part of the Blue Jays when they made the World Series in 2025.
The Kansas City Royals have hired Hunter Mense as a hitting coach, according to a report from MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. Mense will work alongside hitting coach Marcus Thames and offensive coordinator Connor Dawson following the reassignment of Alec Zumwalt earlier this offseason.
Mense spent the 2026 season with the San Francisco Giants after serving as an assistant hitting coach with the Toronto Blue Jays from 2022 to 2025. A Missouri native, Mense returns to his home area after previously helping Toronto reach the 2025 World Series.
