Jen Pawol will make history during Saturday’s game between the Miami Marlins<\/a> and Atlanta Braves<\/a> when she becomes the first female umpire to work a Major League Baseball regular-season game. Pawol will work both ends of the Saturday doubleheader between the Braves and Marlins at Truist Park and then also work the Sunday series finale, according to MLB<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pawol, 48, began her affiliated-baseball umpiring career in 2016 at the rookie-ball level. She reached the Triple-A level in 2023, and then in 2024 she became the first female ump to work a spring-training game since Ria Cortesio in 2007.<\/p>\n Braves vs. Marlins doubleheader<\/p>\n Date: Saturday, August 9 |\u00a0Time: 1:15 p.m. ET “I greatly appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm, everyone’s welcoming attitude on the field,” Pawol told the Associated Press<\/a> at the time. “Tonight was very, very special. Both managers shared congratulations, welcoming, enthusiastic. The players on the field, so many said congrats and great to see you up here. A gentleman, Javier [Bracamonte, Astros<\/a> bullpen coach], he ran out early in the game and said he has a daughter playing all kinds of sports. It’s good to see you out here.”<\/p>\n Later in the 2024 season, Pawol was named a Triple-A crew chief and added to the call-up list for the major-league level.\u00a0<\/p>\n Prior to her baseball umpiring career, Pawol was a standout softball player at Hofstra University on Long Island. After her collegiate playing career, Pawol umpired NCAA softball from 2010-16 and was invited to the Umpire Training Academy after attending an MLB tryout camp in August of 2015.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty Images Jen Pawol will make history during Saturday’s game between the Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves when…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55617,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[4996,64,63,5163,1188,591,85],"class_list":["post-55616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-atlanta-braves","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-houston-astros","tag-miami-marlins","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
