Brandon Hyde (Orioles) & Skip Schumaker (Marlins) Named Mangers of the Year

MLB Awards week continues with two more honors on Tuesday — Managers of the Year. Brandon Hyde (Orioles) and Skip Schumaker (Marlins) earned the nods for their clubs’ unlikely runs in 2023. Hyde’s honor also marks the second award of the week for Baltimore, while Schumaker is just the eighth manager ever to win the award in his first season.

 

AL: Brandon Hyde (Orioles)

Hyde’s Orioles were baseball’s best story throughout the regular season, notching 101 wins well ahead of schedule. Hyde captained the O’s through three straight losing seasons from 2019-2022, but the O’s (101-61) surprised everyone when they earned the AL’s No. 1 seed. 2nd Place: Bruce Bochy (Rangers) / 3rd Place: Kevin Cash (Rays)

 

NL: Skip Schumaker (Marlins)

Schumaker’s nod comes from the instantaneous impact he had in Miami. The Marlins hadn’t won 80-plus games since 2010 (2020 shortened season included), but Schumaker’s club went 84-78 to nab an NL wild card bid. 2nd Place: Craig Counsell (Brewers) / 3rd Place: Brian Snitker (Braves)
