(WSAW) – Milwaukee Brewers Manager Pat Murphy has been named the 2025 NL Manager of the Year.
It’s his second straight year he’s won the award.
Murphy led the Brewers to a franchise-record 97 victories in 2025 as the team posted the best record in the Major Leagues (97-65) en route to the National League Central division title.
Milwaukee went on to defeat the rival Cubs in the National League Division Series after finishing five games ahead of Chicago to win the division.
Murphy follows up on a 2024 season in which he guided the team to a 93-69 record and a National League Central division title as a first-year manager.
He became the first Brewers skipper ever to win Manager of the Year. He also joins just two other managers in MLB history to win the award in back-to-back years, joining the Braves’ Bobby Cox (2004-05) and the Rays’ Kevin Cash (2020-21).
