The Cubs’ increased emphasis on data throughout the organization was reflected in the eight additions to their minor-league coaching staffs they announced Friday.
The newcomers include former Chicago Bandits softball player Rachel Folden as the lead hitting lab tech and fourth coach for Mesa of the Rookie League. Folden, 32, created Folden Fastpitch in 2010, providing baseball and softball instruction based on biomechanics, science, technology and data.
She also served as a hitting consultant for Elite Baseball Training, operated by Justin Stone, whom the Cubs promoted last month to become the organization’s director of hitting.
Folden is believed to be the first woman on a coaching staff in professional baseball, not counting independent leagues."
