The Mets have named Mookie Wilson as the team’s minor league outfield and base running coordinator.

Wilson had been the team’s first base coach, and managed Single-A Brooklyn in 2005.

“It’s good to be back,” said Wilson, in a team press release.

“This is where I started and I’m anxious to do whatever I can for the young kids in our system.”

The team also announced that Bob Melvin will join the organization as a professional scout.
