Coach
Marc Rovner
Introduction
The recipient of a juris doctor from Boston University, Marc Rovner is
an East Rockaway, New York, attorney who draws upon more than 30
years of legal experience in his role as general counsel and director of
business development with BETA Abstract. A passionate sports fan,
Marc Rovner of East Rockaway counts the New York Mets as his
favorite Major League Baseball team.
The Mets finished the 2018 season with a win-loss record of 77-85
and scored 59 fewer runs than in the year prior. As a result, the team
fired hitting coach Pat Roessler and hired former Chicago Cubs hitting
coach Chili Davis. During Davis' tenure with the Cubs, the team hit
167 home runs, ranking only 22nd out of 30 teams, but managed a
collective .258 batting average, third behind only the Boston Red Sox
and Cleveland Indians. Davis also served as a hitting coach with the
Red Sox from 2015 to 2017 and the Oakland Athletics from 2012 to
2014.
Mets
As a player, Davis was a three-time All-Star and three-time
World Series winner who registered a .274 batting average to
go along with 350 home runs and 1,372 runs batted in through
19 seasons. Other coaching changes for the Mets in 2019
include Chuck Hernandez taking over as bullpen coach and Luis
Rojas becoming the team's inaugural quality control coach.
