The finalists for the official postseason awards voted on by members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America were announced Monday night on MLB Network with Mets’ manager Buck Showalter being among them, as a finalist for the NL Manager of the Year Award.
Showalter led the Mets to the second-best season in franchise history and engineered a 24-game turnaround in his first season in Queens. Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker are the other two finalists.
The Mets went 101-61 in 2022 under Showalter, reaching the 100-win mark for only the fourth time in franchise history and the first time since 1988.
