Smedley Named 2024 Carolina League Manager of the Year

Charleston, SC — Charleston RiverDogs manager Sean Smedley was selected as the 2024 Carolina League Manager of the Year on Tuesday, earning recognition after guiding the club to one of its strongest seasons in recent memory.

“It’s really unfair to the guys that busted their humps all year long to put all the focus on me now,” Smedley said after the announcement. “They showed up early, put in extra time in the cage, worked on their fielding, consulted with our coaching staff, and really made 2024 a highlight in my career.”

While Smedley may deflect praise, his impact on the club is undeniable. Under his guidance, the RiverDogs secured a first-place finish in the Southern Division and posted a stellar 81–51 record, showcasing consistent improvement and discipline across the roster. The Award marks a milestone season for Smedley and the RiverDogs, one defined by teamwork, resilience, and a manager whose humility stands in stark contrast to his team’s commanding performance on the field.
