SF Giants Make History by Hiring First Female Coach Alyssa Nakken

The SF Giants just made history by hiring their first full-time female coach. Congrats to 29-year-old Alyssa Nakken who worked for the team for the past two years with health and wellness initiatives and events. She's no rookie to the sport. She's a 4-time All-Pacific Coast Softball Conference selection and was first-team all-league in 2012 while she played for the Sacramento State softball team from 2009-12. The Giants manager Gabe Kapler introduced Nakken and fellow assistant coachMark Hallbergon today by saying, "Alyssa and Mark are highly respected members of the organization and I'm delighted that they will now focus their talents on helping to build a winning culture in the clubhouse." He went on, "In every organization, environment affects performance, and baseball clubhouses are no different. That's why in addition to assisting the rest of the coaching staff on the field, Mark and Alyssa will focus on fostering a clubhouse culture that promotes high performance through, among other attributes, a deep sense of collaboration and team". Congrats Alyssa!
