Orioles’ Brandon Hyde wins AL Manager of the Year while Marlins’ Skip Schumaker takes NL award in rookie season

Brandon Hyde and the Baltimore Orioles showed promise in 2022, winning 86 games in a tough AL East. They fully arrived in 2023, winning 101 games and their first division title in nearly a decade.

Hyde picked up one final victory Tuesday, winning the American League Manager of the Year award on Tuesday. He beat Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy and Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash for the award.

Meanwhile, Skip Schumaker of the Miami Marlins got his managing career off to a good start, taking home the NL award.

Out of 30 BBWAA votes, Hyde received 27 first-place votes and three second-place votes. The only other manager to get first-place votes was Bochy. It is worth noting that the BBWAA submits votes at the end of the regular season, so the Rangers’ World Series title run wouldn’t have helped Bochy, nor would the Orioles’ ALDS exit have hurt Hyde.
