NOVEMBER 13, 2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brian Snitker was selected as National League Manager of the Year, marking the fourth time a Braves manager has been honored. Hall of Famer Bobby Cox won the award in 1991, 2004 and 2005 (and also in 1985 in the AL with the Blue Jays).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snitker is the seventh Manager of the Year winner who did not play in the major leagues. The others were three-time winners Jim Leyland, Joe Maddon and Buck Showalter, two-time winner Jack McKeon as well as Jim Frey and John McNamara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snitker was the only manager named on every ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Brewers have never had a Manager of the Year winner in either league. Counsell is the fourth Milwaukee manager to finish second in the voting. Other Brewers runners-up were Tom Trebelhorn in 1987 and Phil Garner in 1992 in the AL and Ron Roenicke in 2011 in the NL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ballots, submitted prior to postseason play, were cast by two writers in each league city. They are tabulated on a system that rewards five points for first place, three points for second place and one point for third place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
