On November 13th, 2020, the Miami Marlins announced that Kim Ng had left the organization after three successful seasons as the first female general manager in Major League Baseball (MLB). Ng was hired in 2018 and quickly made her mark on the team, leading them to the playoffs in her third season.
Ng has been a trailblazer in the world of baseball since her hiring. She was the first Asian American and first female to hold the position of general manager in MLB history. During her tenure with the Marlins, Ng made a number of moves that helped to improve the team. She brought in key players such as Starling Marte, Corey Dickerson, and Jesus Aguilar, and also traded for Sandy Alcantara and Elieser Hernandez.
Ng’s impact on the Marlins was clear, as they made the playoffs in her third season. This was the first time the team had reached the postseason since 2003. Ng’s success with the Marlins was a testament to her skills as a leader and executive.
Ng’s departure from the Marlins is a loss for the organization, but it is also an opportunity for her to continue her career elsewhere. She will undoubtedly be a sought-after candidate for any team looking for a strong leader and executive.
Kim Ng’s tenure with the Marlins was a success, and she will be remembered for her contributions to the team. She has set an example for other women in baseball, showing that they can succeed in a male-dominated industry. Her legacy will live on for years to come.
