The Giants have completed their hiring process for manager Gabe Kapler's staff and have added Alyssa Nakken in a historic hire.
The club announced Thursday that Nakken and Mark Hallberg are joining the Giants as major league assistant coaches, giving San Francisco 13 coaches overall.
Nakken is the first female coach in Giants history and believed to be the first female coach in MLB.
"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," Kapler said in a statement.
