The San Francisco Giants are losing hitting coach Hunter Mense to the Kansas City Royals, according to a report from SB Nation on Thursday.
Mense, who wore number 59 for the Giants, had been with the organization through the 2026 season. A photograph from August 28, 2026 shows him preparing for a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oracle Park.
The departure marks a coaching staff change for San Francisco as they head into the offseason. Kansas City adds Mense to their coaching ranks as they look to bolster their offensive development.
