Hyde is the fourth Orioles manager to win the award, joining Frank Robinson (1989), Davey Johnson (1997) and Buck Showalter (2014).

"We were supposed to win 76 games. Won 101, won the American League East. Really proud of our group. They defied all the odds. Nobody gave us a chance," Hyde said after the Orioles were swept by the Rangers in the ALDS. "These guys played their butts off for six months. We just didn't play well for these last three, unfortunately. And it's definitely a successful season and these guys are going to be really good going forward."

Hyde was hired by Baltimore prior to the 2019 season, losing 108 games that year. The Orioles went 25-35 in the shortened 2020 season, then lost 110 in 2021 – before starting their turnaround with a surprising 83-79 record in 2022.

Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson won the AL Rookie of the Year award on Monday and there's even more new Orioles talent on the horizon in 2024, highlighted by MLB's top prospect Jackson Holliday.

NL Manager of the Year: Skip Schumaker, Marlins

In his first season with Miami, Schumaker led the club to its first playoff appearance in a non-shortened season since 2003, earning one of the NL wild-card spots.

Schumaker is the eighth skipper to win the award in his first career season as a manager and the fourth in Marlins history, joining Jack McKeon (2003), Joe Girardi (2006) and Don Mattingly (2020).

The Marlins went 84-78 – despite being outscored by 57 runs in the regular season – and had remarkable 33-14 record in one-run games. They were swept in the wild-card series by the Philadelphia Phillies, three years after reaching the NLDS at the conclusion of the 2020 COVID season.

Schumaker received eight first-place votes, finishing ahead of fellow finalists Craig Counsell and Brian Snitker. Torey Lovullo, Dave Roberts, David Bell and David Ross also received votes.
