His team won all 3 of his starts, going just 5-8 in games started by anyone not names Marquez. He also struck out 19 in his 19 IP, while surrendering just 1 free pass.
NL ROOKIE – 2022 – Emmanuel Clase, PITTSBURGH PIRATES
The rookie closer dominated the usbl in his rookie season, not allowing a run over is 10 IP of work, while converting a perfect 2/2 in save opportunities. He also struck out a batter per inning with 10K’s.
NL MANAGER – 2022 – Menas G, SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS
Menas took a team with some decent starting pitching, a fairly deep pen, but a ton of questions on offense, and turned them into a Division winner. The stats don’t lie – San Fran outscored their opposition by just 6 runs, yet finished with a record of 10-6. Our Analytics dept calculates that the Manager found an extra 2 wins for his team, and that made the difference between finishing 1st, or finishing in 3rd.
