TAMPA (SNN-TV) – Minor League Baseball has gotten its first female manager.

Rachel Balkovec confirmed Sunday she has been hired to manage the Tampa Tarpons. The Tarpons are, of course, the Low-A affiliate of the New York Yankees.

The move comes after the Yankees hired her in 2019 as the first woman to be a full-time hitting coach in a Major League Baseball organization.

Before that, the 34-year-old worked with the Houston Astros, St. Louis Cardinals, and Chicago White Sox.

Pitchers and catchers are hopeful to report to Spring Training on February 14th.
