Cleveland’s Vogt named AL manager of year, Toronto’s Schneider takes second in voting
- On November 11, 2025, Stephen Vogt, manager of the Cleveland Guardians, was named the BBWAA American League Manager of the Year, receiving 17 of 30 first-place votes and 113 points.
- Vogt led the Guardians to their second straight AL Central Division title this year, overcoming a 15.5 games behind deficit to clinch on the final day of the regular season.
- He called team meetings when two key pitchers were sidelined amid an MLB gambling probe, plugging Ortiz's rotation spot while Bo Naylor improved in the second half and the team never quit.
- Despite the accolade, Cleveland's season ended with a wild-card loss to the Tigers, and team officials said it did not diminish Cleveland's historic achievement.
- BBWAA voters noted that Vogt faced outsized challenges this season as Cleveland Guardians ranked 28th in runs , while Stephen Vogt's managerial record 180-143 frames his rapid rise.
