The Pirates have hired Caitlyn Callahan, who had spent the last two years interning with the Reds’ player development team, as a development coach.
Per a team source, she will be the first in-uniform female coach in franchise history and one of the first across baseball.
Callahan had spent the last two seasons as a minor-league video and baseball technology intern with the Reds. She has a degree in kinesiology from St. Mary’s College and played over four years of softball with Boston University and St. Mary’s.
She also interned with baseball operations for the Staten Island Yankees and has experience as a scout liaison at the professional level and strength and conditioning coach at the high school level.
