Al Leiter’s post-playing career is mimicking his days as a player. After leaving his job as a broadcaster with the Yankees, he’s coming over to the Mets.

The team announced Monday Leiter will be a baseball operations adviser with the club. He will serve as aid for the scouting and player development and focus on mental preparation for pitchers at every level of the organization.

“I am thrilled to be reunited with the Mets organization, which I hold so near and dear to my heart,” the 53-year-old Leiter said in a statement. “I grew up a fan of the team and then was fortunate enough to realize my childhood dream of pitching for the Mets. Now, thanks to the Wilpon family and to Brodie [Van Wagenen], I’m privileged to have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the future of the organization. I couldn’t be more appreciative or more excited.”

The Mets also announced John Franco, a teammate of Leiter’s, will be a baseball operations adviser. The former closer was already with the organization as a team ambassador.
