SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Ronnie Gajownik spent her Saturday afternoon as the bench coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks.“It was awesome,” Gajownik said later. “I didn't realize how big of a moment it was until told me in the fifth inning, he's like, ‘They’re doing articles all over about you. You're trending!'”The 29-year-old Gajownik was hired during the offseason as manager of the D-backs minor league affiliate Hillsboro Hops. She’ll be the first woman to manage a Class High-A team.
“I’m just appreciating my time with her. She’s a spectacular teacher and can relate with the players very well,” he said. Gajownik said Saturday’s game conversation with Lovullo varied between mundane topics like who might pinch-hit the next inning, to broader topics, like caring about players on and off the field.
