Spokane’s Cancel Named Northwest League Manager of the Year

Spokane Indians skipper Robinson Cancel was selected as the 2024 Northwest League Manager of the Year, earning recognition after guiding his club to a dominant 92–40 finish and the top spot in the league standings. Cancel, who insists everyone call him “Cap” or “Skip,” has long avoided the spotlight, and he downplayed his own role even as the award was announced. “It’s really unfair to the guys that busted their humps all year long to put all the focus on me now,” he said. “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.” Spokane posted an impressive 1st-half record of 47-19 (.712%) and a 2nd-half record of 45-21 (.682%) to take the NWL championship.
