The Yankees hired a full-time female minor league hitting coach, who is believed to be the first woman in the position for a big-league team, The New York Times reported Friday.

Rachel Balkovec, 32, signed a contract with the Yankees on Nov. 8 to become a roving instructor, MLB.com reported. She will attend the team’s spring training in Tampa on Feb. 1.
=================================================================================================
Club officials told the Times they chose Balkovec because of her two master’s degrees in the science of human movement and her other experience at minor league clubs. Hope the team keeps their eyes on the ball.

I hope the team keeps their eyes on their own.

Congrats to Ms. Balkovec.

That’s a click bait headline. The Yankees did not hire a female hitting coach, a Yankees minor league affiliate hired a female hitting coach.

Reason #1000345 why the media cannot, and should not be trusted.
