The Milwaukee Brewers have promoted Sara Goodrum to minor league hitting coordinator, making her the first woman to have that role in any Major League Baseball organization.

Goodrum's official title with the Brewers is coordinator for hitting development initiatives, but she essentially will be filling the role of a minor league hitting coordinator.

Goodrum, 27, has been working in this role since October.

The Brewers officially announced the promotion Thursday as they released the names and positions of their entire 2021 player development staff.
