The Washington Nationals are set to hire Blake Butera as their new manager. This move will position the 33-year-old as the youngest MLB manager since Frank Quilici led the Minnesota Twins at age 33 in 1972. This anticipated appointment follows a summer of major changes for the franchise and highlights a push toward innovative, youthful leadership. With St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol, 39, currently the youngest in the league during 2025, Butera’s arrival would reset the benchmark for dugout prodigies.
