Pat Murphy has become the first Milwaukee Brewers manager to win the Manager of the Year Award in BBWAA voting history, which dates back to 1983. Despite previous Brewers managers finishing as runners-up seven times, Murphy's achievement marks a significant milestone for the team. He is also notable for being one of the few award winners who did not play in the major leagues. The voting, conducted before postseason play, saw Murphy receive the most first-place votes, securing his win over other contenders like Mike Shildt and Carlos Mendoza.
