The Giants just hired Alyssa Nakkenas the first full-time female coach in MLB history

Former Sacramento State softball star Alyssa Nakken is making Major League Baseball history by becoming the first full-time female coach in the league. Nakken, who was a three-time all-conference first baseman at Sacramento State and a four-time Academic All-American, was not the only woman considered for the role. According to MLB.com, the Giants also interviewed Rachel Balkovec, who was hired by the Yankees in November to serve as a Minor League hitting coach. After graduating from Sacramento State, Nakken earned her master's degree in sports management from the University of San Francisco (USF). In the MLB, women make up just 30% of the organization's professional staff.
