Posted: Fri Nov 22, 2024 8:58 pm
Alyssa Nakken, the first woman to coach in a Major League Baseball game, is leaving the San Francisco Giants to join the Cleveland Guardians.
Nakken made history in 2022 when she took over as first-base coach following an ejection. A former college softball star at Sacramento State, Nakken joined the Giants in 2014 and was promoted to a spot on manager Gabe Kapler\'s staff in 2020, becoming the first woman to be a full-time coach in the majors.
She will take a role in the Guardians\' player development department, according to multiple reports.
