Episode 32: Kim Ng
from Asians In Baseball Hosted by Asians in Baseball
AAPI Heritage Month isn’t over yet! This week gave us lots of opportunities to talk about representation in MLB - both positive and negative. 0:48 - Corbin Carroll and Mark Mathias join the Asians in Baseball roster, Steven Kwan continues to proudly rep the AAPI community, and we were pleasantly surprised by the Guardians’ thoughtful AAPI Heritage celebrations. 15:52 - Tommy Edman and Blake Sabol have hot hot bats, and Masataka Yoshida is on his WBC reunion tour with a hitting streak to go along with it. 22:56 - Pitchers have another solid week...though they could use a little more support both on and off the field. Sean Manaea gets the W out of the bullpen, Dane Dunning has another great start, and a positive article about Yusei Kikuchi’s talents despite his first loss leaves an extremely bad taste in our mouths. 41:10 - We couldn’t let AAPI Heritage Month end without a profile on our idol Kim Ng, GM of the Marlins and the first woman and first person of East Asian descent to be the GM of an MLB team. Are we Marlins fans now?!?
