There's just something about first-year managers in the Orioles' minor-league system.
Double-A Bowie manager Buck Britton was recently named Eastern League Manager of the Year, while GCL Orioles manager Alan Mills was named Gulf Coast League Manager of the Year. Both are in their first year managing at the minor-league level.
Under Mills' leadership, the GCL Orioles won the Gulf Coast League's southern division this year with the best record in the league (38-15). Unfortunately, they were not able to compete in the playoffs due to the threat of Hurricane Dorian.
