BBWAA Awards 2024: Pat Murphy Named National League Manager Of The Year; Dave Roberts Receives Votes
Briefly

Pat Murphy's achievement as the 2024 National League Manager of the Year marks a significant milestone in his career, as he has successfully led the Milwaukee Brewers to this honor for the first time. This recognition follows a competitive season where several managers were in contention, highlighting Murphy's effective leadership and strategy.
Dave Roberts, despite his impressive track record and being one of the premier managers in MLB, was ranked seventh this year with just three first-place votes. His winning percentage remains historically high; however, he faced stiff competition in the Manager of the Year voting despite leading the Dodgers to another successful season.
In his ninth season, Dave Roberts has maintained a .627 winning percentage during the regular season and a .560 in the postseason, surpassing many managers with longer careers. His accolades include eight NL West titles, two World Series championships, and consistently guiding his team to playoffs, making him a standout manager in Major League Baseball.
Skip Schumaker, last year's Manager of the Year, parted ways with the Marlins, setting the stage for a new direction for the team as they hired Clayton McCullough. This transition highlights the ongoing changes and leadership dynamics within MLB franchises as they seek to build competitive teams.
