Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy has been named a finalist for the National League Manager of the Year award for the third consecutive season, the league announced Tuesday.
Murphy, who has guided the Brewers to consistent postseason contention since taking over as manager, joins an exclusive group of skippers to earn finalist honors in three straight years. The recognition underscores his ability to maintain Milwaukee's competitive edge in the NL Central despite roster turnover and injury challenges.
The Manager of the Year voting, conducted by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, considers regular-season performance only. Winners for both leagues are typically revealed in mid-November.
