Jen Pawol to become MLB’s first female umpire

Jen Pawol will make history this weekend as the first woman to be an umpire in a regular-season MLB game.

Pawol will ump three games during this weekend’s Marlins-Braves series in Atlanta, including both ends of Saturday’s doubleheader and the series finale on Sunday, when she will be behind home plate. The doubleheader necessitated adding a fifth umpire to the crew, since each home plate umpire skips the other game they’re not working.
