Tip of the cap to women trailblazers in sports

These are historic times in Major League Baseball. From the dugout, to the front office, to scouting talent on diamonds worldwide, women are making that history.

In 2020, Alyssa Nakken became the first full-time female coach in MLB history when she joined the Giants coaching staff. Two years later, she became the first on-field woman coach in the league’s history when she took over as first base coach. In 2022, Rachel Balkovec became the first woman to manage a MLB Minor League team when she took over the Yankees Low-A Tampa Tarpons.
