MANAGER OF THE YEAR - ZACK PACE, SONOMA STOMPERS 

Sonoma Stompers Zack Pace has been named Pacific Association of Professional Baseball Clubs Manager of the Year. In 2019, Pace would lead the Sonoma Stompers to a Pacific Association best 45-19 record. 

Over Pace’s two year tenure, he now holds a win percentage of over .708% and an astonishing record of 102-42 for the Stompers. 

The Sonoma State alumnus surpassed his 100th career victory, when the Sonoma Stompers defeated the Salina Stockade 8-4 on August 20th. 

The former three-time Gilded Glove Pacific Association of Professional Baseball Clubs center fielder award winner also helped promote eight Stomper players to higher levels of baseball during the 2019 playing season. Most notably was left-handed reliever Cole Watts to the Kansas City Royals in June. 

This is the first time in Pacific Association of Professional Baseball Clubs history that a manager has outright won the award in multiple seasons. In 2017, Managers P.J. Phillips and Takoshi Miyoshi shared the award, with Miyoshi winning it as well in 2016. 

The former 11-year professional also coaches locally at Sonoma State University.
