Skip Schumaker Wins NL Manager of the Year-Swimming Upwards With the Marlins

Skip Schumaker Wins NL Manager of the Year, taking the Marlins to the playoffs thanks to 84 regular season wins. Skip definitely did something huge while helming his team. Especially, since 2023 was the Marlins best season since literally 2009.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan is among one of the first to share the news. Jeff touches on the MOTY voting numbers as well as the wins and losses of the Marlins. Passan reveals,

“The Miami Marlins’ Skip Schumaker was named National League Manager of the Year. Miami made a surprising run to the postseason with an 84-78 record in Schumaker’s first season running the team. Schumaker got only eight of 30 first-place votes but still won the award.”

Congratulations to Schumaker. Moreover, Skip is proving that you can get on the path of winning even with little. The Marlins are not known for being a franchise that is all about spending big, like the Mets, Dodgers, Yankees or now San Diego Padres. Yet, the Marlins did make some moves and it paid off.

One decision was to hire the 2023 MOTY, Skip Schumaker. Schumaker may fly under the radar in the era that is Bruce Bochy (a finalist many saw winning after becoming a World Series champion for the fourth time). However, he is in his own way already proving that his hiring is the correct direction for the ball club. In his first year as their skipper, he not only stays in the hunt to make the playoffs; but gets in.

Moreover, even though the Philadelphia Phillies puts a hard stop to the Marlins advancement during the 2023 off-season. What Schumaker and the Marlins accomplish can’t be denied.

The Marlins’ all-time playoff record is still 24-16. Additionally, they normally have better Octobers when they get to and reach the playoffs. For instance, in 1997 and 2003 this Florida major league franchise enjoys much success in the postseason with surprise World Series runs.

Furthermore, the Marlins also have youth on their side. They have a fun, exhilarating young core that includes strong bats like Jazz Chisholm, Jorge Soler, Jake Burger as well as 2023 Silver Slugger back-to-back winner Luis Arraez. Also, dynamic pitchers such as Tanner Scott and Cy Young winner, Sandy Alcantara.

Moreover, with Skip being on the younger spectrum too; there’s plenty of time. Time for the team, for the whole group to grow together and work towards the common goal of hoisting a trophy. Will be interesting to watch their continued progression.
