"I know that if my dad took me out of school on a Wednesday and we went to a baseball game and I saw a female coach on the field, I know Thursday my life would have been changing in the trajectory of where I want it to go," Gajownik.
Gajownik is now the second female manager in professional baseball, joining Rachel Balkovec — who was hired to lead the Yankees’ Single-A team, the Tampa Tarpons, last season. "On behalf of the entire organization, we congratulate Ronnie on this significant milestone as she becomes the second female team manager in Minor League Baseball and at the highest developmental level," Diamondbacks president and CEO Derrick Hall."We look forward to witnessing her continued growth within player development as she shapes and develops the future stars of the D-backs, while continuing to be a tremendous point of pride for the enterprise.
Gajownik first joined the Diamondbacks organization in 2021, where she served as a video assistant with the Hops. She then worked as an assistant last season, and served as a coach for the Salt River Rafters in the Arizona Fall League."It feels great to this opportunity, especially with the Diamondbacks," Gajownik."They saw my potential in me as a coach and as a person, and then obviously taking that chance with me last year. So this opportunity means a lot to me.
