Hyde is a familiar face for Orioles fans, having been the Orioles Manager since 2019. Coming into his seventh season, he has led the Orioles to back-to-back playoff appearances for the first time since 1996-1997. Hyde was named American League Manager of the Year in 2023 after leading the O’s to a 101-61 record and winning the AL East for the first time since 2014. This would also be the first time the Orioles held the top seed in the American League since 1997.
Hyde played college baseball at Santa Rosa Junior College and California State University, Long Beach before signing with the Chicago White Sox as an undrafted free agent in 1997. He made it as far as the Charlotte Knights of the Class AAA International League. Hyde played 200 games and hit .252 over his minor league career.
Hyde managed within the Marlins organization from 2005-2009 where he spent time with the Greensboro Grasshoppers, Carolina Mudcats, Jupiter Hammerheads, and Jacksonville Suns. In 2010, he was named interim bench coach of the Miami Marlins where he remained until 2012 when he moved to the Chicago Cubs organization serving as both a bench coach and first base coach.
In 2018, the Baltimore Orioles named Brandon Hyde the newest Manager of the team where he began the task of rebuilding the O's. Under his guidance, Gunnar Henderson was named AL Rookie of the Year in 2023, Cedric Mullins, Henderson, Adley Rutschman, and Anthony Santander have all been named Silver Sluggers, and Ramon Urias was named a Golden Glove winner.
Joining Hyde on stage at the Hot Stove Banquet is Pat Filippone, President of 7th Inning Stretch LP, which owns the Shorebirds, the Stockton Ports of the California League, and the Everett Aquasox of the Northwest League, Orioles Director of Minor League Operations Kent Qualls, and Shorebirds General Manager Chris Bitters.

“After a record-setting Hot Stove in 2024, we’re thrilled to host our 22nd annual Hot Stove event as not only a great reminder for the upcoming season, but also a great way to raise money for charity,” stated Bitters.
