[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) announced the annual best coach award today. The White Sox got rid of the slump of 100 losses in a single season in the past three years and entered the playoffs this season. The 44-year-old White Sox coach Will Venable won this year's American League best coach.

Starting from 2023, the White Sox have lost at least 100 games in a single season for three consecutive years, including 121 losses in a single season in 2024, which set the most embarrassing record in history. Vanabou has been in charge of the White Sox since 2025 and led the team to a record of 60 wins and 102 losses in his first year of coaching.

The White Sox ranked second in the American League Central Division with a record of 84 wins and 78 losses this year. They have advanced to the playoffs again since 2021, and finally stopped in the American League Division Series.

Among the votes cast by 30 members of the BBWAA, Vanabou received 15 first-place votes and a total score of 111 points, beating Rays head coach Kevin Cash's 98 points, allowing Vanabo to win the American League Coach of the Year in his second year of coaching.

Vanable also became the first White Sox coach to win the American League Manager of the Year award since former White Sox championship manager Ozzie Guillen in 2005.
