Buck Showalter and the Orioles won the franchise’s first AL East title since 1997 this season.
This is Showalter’s third Manager of the Year award, having previously won in 1994 and 2004. He is the sixth manager with three or more Manager of the Year awards.
Showalter received 25 of 30 first-place votes and 132 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. He kept up his pattern of winning the award once a decade following victories with the New York Yankees in 1994 and Texas in 2004.
“I won’t be doing it 10 years from now,” Showalter said on the MLB Network telecast.
