Skip Schumaker, of the Miami Marlins, won the manager of the year award in his first season as a manager in the Major Leagues after leading the team to the postseason (in a full season) for the first time in 20 years. The Marlins manager won with 72 votes ahead of Craig Counsell (Milwaukee Brewers manager) with 51 and Brian Snitker with 48 in third place in the voting. Torrey Lovullo (Arizona Diamondbacks), Dave Roberts (Los Angeles Dodgers) and David Bell ( Cincinnati Reds) also received first-place votes. Schumaker managed to create a great group with the Marlins in one of the most difficult divisions in the Major Leagues with the Atlanta Braves of more than 100 wins, the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets. The manager of the Miami Marlins had to deal with a rotation of hitters with multiple injuries, the loss of Cy Young, Sandy Alcántara, and also important hitters such as Jazz Chisholm and Luis Arráez.
Skip Schumaker and a change in the Marlins dugout
The Miami Marlins managed to obtain 84 victories in the 2023 season, something they had not achieved since the 2010 campaign. Something that changed in this campaign was the number of victories by one run. In 2022, the Marlins went from losing as many as 41 games by a single run. In 2023, the Miami team had a winning average of .717 in games by just a hairline difference. Schumaker’s franchise became the first team since 2009 to qualify for the postseason, after having a negative record in August. The Marlins achieved important victories with the Dodgers, Phillies, Brewers and Braves.
