Davis drew eyes for her 2014 LLWs performance and hopes to one day work in an MLB front officeGetty Images
Former Little League World Series phenom Mo’ne Davis this summer is working with the Dodgers “as an intern in their video production department, a potential first step toward her ultimate goal of someday working in a front office,” according to Jack Harris of the L.A. TIMES. Davis gained national headlines for her performance in the 2014 LLWS, and her past “gives her more notoriety than the other 20 interns hired by the Dodgers to various roles across the club this summer.” However, Dodgers VP/DEI Courtney Moore said, “She went through the exact same process all our other interns did.” Harris notes this is “not a route someone of Davis’ public stature might normally take.” Her past work with MLB following her LLWS breakthrough “could have opened more glamorous doors than a summer gig as a de facto production assistant.” But Davis believes “riding her past accomplishments to social media influence was far less appealing than pursuing a future as a high-ranking decision-maker somewhere in baseball” (L.A. TIMES, 7/3).
