Valenzuela Named South Atlantic League Manager of the Year

The Bowling Green Hot Rods’ remarkable 2024 campaign has earned their leader top honors. Manager Rafael Valenzuela was voted the South Atlantic League Manager of the Year after guiding Bowling Green to a dominant 101–31 record and a first-place finish in the Southern Division. Valenzuela credited his players for the club’s success. “A manager is only as good as the players he’s managing,” he told reporters. “If I didn’t have the talent to work with, making all the right moves wouldn’t have helped a bit.”
