The Miami Marlins have had a successful season, and their manager, Don Mattingly, has been a big part of that success. On Tuesday, the National League announced that Mattingly was named the NL Manager of the Year for the 2020 season.
Mattingly, who is in his first season as the Marlins’ manager, led the team to a 31-29 record and a third-place finish in the NL East. It was the team’s best finish since 2009 and their first winning season since 2009.
Mattingly is no stranger to success in the dugout. He was the manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers from 2011-2015 and led them to three consecutive NL West titles. He also won the NL Manager of the Year award in 2013.
Mattingly has been praised for his ability to get the most out of his players and for his leadership. He has been credited with helping to develop young players such as Miguel Rojas, Sandy Alcantara, and Brian Anderson. He also helped veteran players such as Starling Marte and Jesus Aguilar have career years.
The Marlins’ success this season has been a pleasant surprise for many fans. Mattingly has been a big part of that success, and he is now being rewarded with the NL Manager of the Year award. It is a well-deserved honor for Mattingly, and it is a testament to his ability to lead a team and get the most out of his players.
