HISTORY! Alyssa Nakken became the first woman MLB coach to make an on-field appearance during a game Tuesday night 👏
When Nakken walked on the field, Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer shook her hand and showed his appreciation for the coach.
This isn’t the first time Nakken has made MLB history. Back in 2020, she was hired as a full-time major league assistant coach on the Giants, which made her the first woman to work full-time in MLB. She has previously worked first base in spring training games. She started with the Giants back in 2014 as an intern before earning her master’s degree in sports management.
