What a year it's been for Pat Murphy.
Two weeks ago, he led the Milwaukee Brewers to their first World Series championship in franchise history.
On Tuesday, he was rewarded with the 2026 NL Manager of the Year Award from the BBWAA.
It's the third straight year that Murphy won the award, as he also captured it in 2024 and 2025. Murphy is the first MLB manager to win the award three years in a row.
This one was well deserved, as Murphy led the Brewers to a franchise-record 103 wins during the regular season and the best record in baseball. He capped it off with a dominant postseason and the team's first World Series title.
With the award, Murphy cements his legacy as one of the best managers in MLB history and becomes an even stronger Hall of Fame candidate.
