Torey Lovullo of the Arizona Diamondbacks won the National League Manager of the Year after his first year as a major league manager.

This election marked the seventh time overall and the fourth year in a row that the award went to someone who was in his first full season as a major league manager. Dave Roberts of the Dodgers won the award in the NL last year and Matt Williams with the Nationals in 2014. The Rangers’ Jeff Banister was the American League winner in 2015.

The other three first-year winners were in the NL: Hal Lanier with the Astros in 1986, Dusty Baker with the Giants in 1993 and Joe Girardi with the Marlins in 2006.

Roberts is the fourth Manager of the Year runner-up in the NL who had won the award the year prior. He follows the Cubs’ Joe Maddon, who finished second to Roberts last year after having won in 2015. The others were the Pirates’ Jim Leyland in 1991 and Clint Hurdle in 2014.

It was the third time a Diamondbacks manager won the award. Previous Arizona winners were Bob Melvin in 2007 and Kirk Gibson in 2011.
