Bianca Smith, a Case Western Reserve double alumna who served as the Director of Baseball Operations from 2013-17, was hired by the Boston Red Sox as a minor league coach, becoming the first Black woman to coach in professional baseball.
"The opportunity is amazing," Smith said in an interview on MLB Network's Hot Stove program on Monday. "I think it's a great opportunity to inspire other women who are interested in this game."
Smith served as CWRU's Director of Baseball Operations while working toward a dual graduate degree (MBA/JD) from Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management and School of Law.
