Every baseball team needs a manager who can keep an entire clubhouse together through the inevitable ups and downs of a 162-game regular season. The best managers know how to piece together the most effective lineup and properly utilize a bullpen. These factors take on an increased importance during the World Series.

With the Los Angeles Dodgers' victory in the 2024 NLCS, Dave Roberts became the 25th manager in baseball history and the only active manager besides Bruce Bochy to win four pennants.
