MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU-Milwaukee Brewers) — Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy has been voted 2024 National League Manager of the Year as he bested fellow finalists Carlos Mendoza (New York) and Mike Shildt (San Diego). He is the first Brewers manager ever to earn the award.
“Pat Murphy led our team with an undaunted presence that resonated throughout the clubhouse from the first day of Spring Training and into the postseason,” said Brewers Vice President and General Manager Matt Arnold. “His steady leadership was a major factor in the team’s success in 2024 and we could not be happier for Murph and his family.”
Murphy, who turns 66 on November 28, was named the 20th manager in franchise history last November, replacing Craig Counsell. The first-year manager guided the Brewers to a 93-69 record, winning the NL Central division by 10.0 games over the Cardinals and Cubs.
The team was in first place every day beginning April 30. The Brewers finished tied with the Padres for the fourth-best record in the Major Leagues, trailing only the Dodgers (98-64), Phillies (95-67) and Yankees (94-68).
