The Miami Marlins have named Kim Ng as their next general manager in a historic move for MLB. Ng is the first woman and the first Asian American GM in baseball.
Ng is the highest-ranking woman in baseball operations among any MLB team. Per the Marlins, it’s believed she’s the first woman named to a general manager position by any professional men’s sports team in the North American leagues.
“On behalf of principal owner Bruce Sherman and our entire ownership group, we look forward to Kim bringing a wealth of knowledge and championship-level experience to the Miami Marlins,” Marlins CEO Derek Jeter said in a statement.
