Now, at 22 years old and interning with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Davis has her sights set on a new goal.
“But over time, just learning more about the sport, I wanted to learn about the business side of the sport, to go in that direction.”
Davis knows plenty about baseball already, and her 2014 Little League World Series with Pennsylvania performance catapulted her to celebrity status. That summer, nine years ago, Davis was the focus of the national spotlight and found herself on the covers of Sports Illustrated and Time Magazine.Now, she boasts more than 230,000 followers on Instagram, and the Los Angeles Times reported that scores of people have recognized her at Dodgers games.
Mo’ne Davis acknowledges the fans before throwing out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the start of the game between the Dodgers and the Nationals at Dodger Stadium on Sept. 2, 2014.But according to the paper, Davis’ well-known name wasn’t the sole reason she got the job.“I think we would have hired her whether or not she was who she was,” said director of Dodgers Productions Erick Vazquez and is Davis’ manager. “That’s how impressive she was in her interview.
Having some big league experience under her belt, she’s hoping that she is taking the first step to one day becoming a decision-maker for an MLB club. “Hopefully, I can work my way up to a front-office position,” she said. “Maybe a GM. We’ll see where it takes me.”Kim Ng became the first woman in any of the big four leagues in North America to become a general manager when the Marlins hired her in 2020.
