Stephen Vogt has been named the American League Manager of the Year after leading the Cleveland Guardians to a remarkable turnaround in 2024. With 27 of 30 first-place votes, he outperformed fellow finalists Matt Quatraro and A.J. Hinch.
Vogt's leadership resulted in a 16-win improvement, guiding the Guardians to the ALCS, despite facing challenges after the retirement of longtime manager Terry Francona. The team showcased a strong bullpen and an underrated lineup, marking a significant step forward for Cleveland.
