Full 2021 Manager of the Year vote totals
The top skippers in each league were rewarded with the Manager of the Year Award on Tuesday night on MLB Network. Giants skipper Gabe Kapler took home the award in the National League, while the Rays' Kevin Cash became the first manager in American League history to win in back-to-back years.
Below are point totals for the balloting, as voted on by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Ballots for each award were submitted before the start of the postseason from two writers in every city, based on the league covered.
The system rewards five points for first place, three for second place and one for third place.
