Women in baseball have long been a part of the sport’s history, but their presence and influence have grown significantly in recent years. Watching players like Eri Yoshida, the Japanese knuckleballer, or Kim Ng becoming the first female general manager of a Major League team, the Miami Marlins, is inspiring. Women's professional leagues, like the National Pro Fastpitch (NPF), continue to develop top talent, and initiatives like the Girls Play Baseball program help create opportunities for young women to participate.

More women are taking on leadership roles, and their voices are being heard both in community organizations and the professional sphere.
