Torey Lovullo's first season with the Arizona Diamondbacks resulted in him being named 2017 National League Manager of the Year.
According to the Baseball Writers Association of America, Lovullo beat out Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and Colorado Rockies skipper Bud Black for the honor.
Lovullo captured 18 of a possible 30 first-place votes to secure the nod.
Coming off three consecutive losing seasons, including a 69-93 record in 2016, expectations were low for the Diamondbacks at the start of 2017.
Lovullo, who spent the previous six seasons as a coach for the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox, was put in the Diamondbacks' managerial chair.
