On April 6, Ronnie Gajownik will make history when she walks out of the Gesa Stadium third base dugout in Pasco, Washington, to present the Opening Day lineup for Oregon's Hillsboro Hops. Gajownik was named manager of the Hops, the High-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Jan. 20, making her the first female manager at the High-A level. The only other female manager in professional baseball, Rachel Balcovec, is about to start her second season as manager of the Low A Tampa Tarpons. Becoming a professional manager felt unobtainable to Gajownik when she envisioned her future in the sport as a child.
