The Yankees are strongly considering Sean Casey as their hitting coach, The Post has learned.

Dillon Lawson was dismissed on Sunday during his second season as the Yankees hitting coach.

If the Yankees finalize the deal with Casey, the likelihood is it would be for the rest of the season so that the organization could gauge his abilities and Casey could decide if this is something he would like to do into the future.

Casey has strong ties to both Aaron Boone and the Yankees VP of baseball operations Tim Naehring.

Boone and Casey were Reds teammates from 1998-2003 coinciding with when Naehring was the director of player development.

If Casey were hired, it would be an extreme departure from Lawson, who never played in the majors and relied strongly on analytical elements revolving around exit velocity and pulling the ball in the air.

Casey was a lefty, use-the-whole-field hitter who batted .302 over 12 major league seasons. Casey made three All-Star Games.

Known as “The Mayor,” for his gregarious nature, Casey, 49, has never coached for a major league team. He has been working at the MLB Network.

He would bring is an upbeat nature, a different philosophy and the heft of having produced as a major leaguer.

The Yankees have struggled offensively this season with a .230 batting average and .300 on-base percentage – both second worst in the majors – and it all has been worse since Aaron Judge injured his right big toe June 3 against the Dodgers.
