The Mets have interviewed Troy Snitker, recently fired by the Astros, for an open hitting coach position, The Post has learned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Snitker had been a hitting coach for the Astros the past seven seasons, but was part of a group of firings after the season as Houston responded to missing the playoffs for the first time since 2016.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Mets recently promoted Jeff Albert<\/a> from running their minor league hitting program to the major league staff and intend to hire at least one coach to work under Albert, and a second source described Snitker as near the top of their list for this role. <\/p>\n
