Former San Francisco Giants player Aubrey Huff has criticized his former team for hiring MLB's first female, full-time coach.
In his post-playing career, Huff dabbled in broadcasting, co-hosting a morning radio show in the Bay Area in 2014, then serving as an assistant coach for Canyon Crest Academy in San Diego in 2015.
Nakken, a three-time All-Conference softball player in college from 2009-2012, began as a Giants intern in 2014 and most recently had worked in the franchise's baseball operations department overseeing health and wellness initiatives. Nakken also spent a season in 2015 as the chief information officer for the baseball team at the University of San Francisco, where she earned her master's in sport management.."Merit and the ability to be a great coach trumps all.
The 29-year-old Nakken is expected to play a role helping with pregame outfield work as well as being a batting practice pitcher. Because MLB limits teams to seven coaches in uniform per game, Nakken will not be one of the team's 13 staffers dressed for games.
