The Miami Marlins hired Rachel Balkovec to be their farm director Tuesday, sources told ESPN, tabbing the first female manager in the minor leagues to ramp up their player development.
Balkovec, 36, has spent more than a decade in organized baseball and the last two years managing the Tampa Tarpons, the New York Yankees' low-A affiliate, where she went 122-136.
Balkovec takes over a Marlins system that in recent years has graduated solid major league pitching but struggled to develop position players.
