First-Time MLB Manager Brandon Hyde Makes History with Record-Breaking Season

Baltimore Orioles Manager Named Brandon Earns 101 Wins

From Santa Rosa, California to Baltimore History

Brandon Michael Hyde, born October 3, 1973, in Santa Rosa, California, has made history as the first-ever Major League Baseball manager named Brandon.

Hyde, a graduate of Montgomery High School in Santa Rosa, led the Baltimore Orioles to a remarkable 101-win season in 2023, etching his name in the team's history books.

Interestingly, the name "Brandon" was not widely popular in the United States until the 1970s, the decade in which Hyde was born. His unique name now stands as a testament to his unique accomplishment as the first "Brandon" to manage a Major League Baseball team.
