Pat Murphy of the Milwaukee Brewers and Stephen Vogt of the Cleveland Rangers were named the winners of the 2025 Major League Baseball (MLB) Manager of the Year award on Tuesday.
Murphy, the best in the National League, and Stephen Vogt, in the American League, celebrate winning for the second consecutive season. The proclamation was made in voting by members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of North America(BBWAA).
Murphy and Vogt make history
Murphy and Vogt joined the exclusive club of Bobby Cox (2004-2005), and Kevin Cash of the Rays (2020-2021), who have been winners in back-to-back seasons.
Murphy, 66, edged out Rob Thomson of the Philadelphia Phillies and Terry Francona of the Cincinnati Reds in the voting.
Vogt beat out Dan Wilson of the Seattle Mariners and John Schneider, who led the Toronto Blue Jays to the MLB World Series.
Murphy, who last season became the first manager in Brewers history, led the squad to set the best record in the majors (97-67).
The Brewers again advanced to the postseason, where they fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers, also the 2024 MLB champion.
