Kelsie Whitmore continues to break barriers in baseball by becoming the first woman to pitch in the Atlantic League, days after making her historic debut as a starting outfielder.
Whitmore's professional baseball career began in 2016 with the Sonoma Stompers of the independent Pacific Association, where she spent parts of two seasons. She played for the U.S. women's baseball team from 2014 to 2019 as a pitcher and outfielder, winning a silver medal in the 2014 Women's Baseball World Cup and gold at the 2015 Pan American Games.
"Playing baseball at the highest level is my goal,'' Whitmore said prior to the start of the Atlantic League season."You know, if you ask any other guy that's going to be in the league what his goal is, it's the same thing, to get to the next level and play at the highest level I could possibly play at."
