The Milwaukee Brewers announced Thursday that Sara Goodrum is their new minor league hitting coordinator, marking the first time a woman has held that position with an MLB team.
According to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy, Goodrum has been working in that role since October.
The 27-year-old will "oversee the Brewers’ hitting program throughout the organization, manage the hitting coaches at the team’s affiliates and, when the coronavirus pandemic fades, travel around the system to assist in player instruction," McCalvy wrote.
Goodrum has been working with the team since 2017 at its Sports Science and Integrative Sports Performance lab.
