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 and was photographed preparing for a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oracle Park on August 28, 2026.
The coaching departure marks a significant change for San Francisco's offensive staff. Mense's move to Kansas City represents a new opportunity for the coach in the American League. The Giants will now need to fill the hitting coach position as they prepare for the upcoming season.
