The leadership of a team leaves at the top of the pyramid. When the top of a business goes well, it can be felt everywhere.
It is true when we talk about the owner of a ball team, but it is also true in the hierarchy of players. And among Milwaukee Brewers, it goes through Christian Yelich.
Manager Pat Murphy, who will be considered for the title of manager of the year, understands this reality. And in his eyes, the quality of the leader of Christian Yelich are a big reason to explain the enormous successes of the Brewers in 2025.
Murphy was not embarrassed to mention (on the sidelines of an interview with Bob Costas) that Yelich, who preaches by example, positively affects the gang of youth of the brewers.
He leads the club. It is more important than I am. Not much more important. – Pat Murphy on Christian Yelich
It is clear that a good manager changes the situation. No one will deny that.
However, when it is among the players that it happens and the players motivate each other, it greatly facilitates the work of the manager to connect with the whole group.
Murphy gave the example of Derek to throw, for whom he has the greatest respect. The Captain of the Yankees bought the Joe Torre match plan and this is an important element that explains the successes of the Yankees of these years.
Obviously, we don't compare Yelich (who has a great season) to throw here. However, we understand that the impact of an impact player on a team can change the situation. It remains to be seen if it will be in series at Wisconsin.
