7 days ago
The Kansas City Royals have announced the hiring of a Liberty native to their coaching staff. Hunter Mense will join the staff as a hitting coach, sharing duties with Marcus Thames while reporting to offensive coordinator Connor Dawson and head coach Matt Quatraro. Mense grew up in Liberty and was a member of the 2002 Blue Jays squad that won the Class 4A State Championship. He would go on to play at Mizzou and spend time in the minor leagues before pivoting to the coaching ranks. Mense was on Don Mattingly’s hitting staff at Toronto from 2022 to 2025, the final year resulting in a World Series appearance. He spent last season in San Francisco.
