Major League Baseball has been breaking barriers over the last year with multiple historic hires of women. Their latest new hire is Bianca Smith, the first Black female on-field coach for the Boston Red Sox.
Smith is now among the other remarkable women who are joining the management side of the MLB, such as Alyssa Nakken, who in July 2020 became the first woman to coach on-field during a major league game, and Kim Ng, who was named the general manager of the Miami Marlins in November of 2020.
Smith, a Paterson, New Jersey native, has been working in baseball management for many years.
