Rachel Balkovec has made history throughout her career. In 2022, she’ll do it again.
Balkovec is set to be named manager of the Tampa Tarpons, the Low-A affiliate of the New York Yankees. The initial report from Lindsey Adler of The Athletic was confirmed by Balkovec late Sunday night. The 34-year-old will be the first woman to manage a Minor League team on a full-time basis. Balkovec spent last year as a hitting coach in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League and has worked in the Yankees organization since 2019. She also served as the first woman coach in the Futures Game, working for the American League side in 2021 in Denver.
