Alyssa Nakken

A new chapter was written in the Major League Baseball history books on Tuesday night, as San Francisco Giants first-base coach Alyssa Nakken became the first female ever to coach on an MLB field. Originally hired as an assistant coach in 2020, Nakken made her on-field debut when the Giants went up to bat in the bottom of the third inning. When asked about her historic achievement, Nakken said, "I was prepared for this moment. Never knew if or when it would happen, but was ready to step in when the team needed me to".
