Rob Manfred

Commissioner of Major League Baseball


Robert D. Manfred, Jr. was elected as the 10th Commissioner in the history of Major League Baseball on Aug. 14, 2014 by vote of the 30 Major League Clubs. He officially became the sport¡¯s leader on Jan. 25, 2015. On July 26, 2023, Club owners again re-elected Manfred to another term through Jan. 25, 2029.

Since Manfred began as Commissioner, two labor agreements have continued MLB¡¯s streak of uninterrupted play on the field since 1995, an unprecedented span of at least 31 consecutive seasons. In a landmark transaction in 2017, The Walt Disney Company acquired a 75% stake in BAMTech, a leading technology platform and video streaming company created by MLB. In 2022, the sport¡¯s revamped joint Competition Committee approved a series of historic changes to rules, which followed several years of fan polling and experimentation in the Minor Leagues. The fan-driven steps that debuted in 2023 have dramatically improved pace of play, increased action and allowed for increased athleticism on the field. The average time of a nine-inning game in 2023 (2:40) decreased by 24 minutes from 2022 and 30 minutes from 2021, and MLB had its most stolen bases in a season since 1987. The 2023 season produced a +9.6% boost in attendance over 2022, the sport¡¯s best year-over-year increase since 1993.

Manfred has overseen the development of closer relationships with youth baseball and softball organizations, and has allocated new resources toward improving MLB¡¯s presence in the amateur ranks. Under his leadership in 2015, MLB launched its signature PLAY BALL youth engagement program, which has resulted in meaningful increases in baseball and softball participation, per the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA). Baseball and softball again combined to be the most participated sport in the United States among kids ages 6 to 12 with more than 6.5 million participants. In the first five years after the start of PLAY BALL, casual participation in baseball increased by nearly 90%.

Manfred has prioritized sustaining the game¡¯s international growth, including through global events like the 2023 World Baseball Classic. In 2016, MLB returned to Cuba for the first time since 1999 as the Tampa Bay Rays played an historic exhibition game vs. the Cuban National Team on March 22 at Estadio Latinoamericano in Havana, jointly attended by President Barack Obama and Cuban President Ra¨²l Castro. In 2018, MLB staged regular season games in Puerto Rico and Mexico. In 2019, MLB opened its regular season in Japan, played multiple series in Mexico and held an historic June series in London, which were the sport¡¯s first games ever played in Europe. MLB has also taken the game to non-traditional domestic locations with groundbreaking events in recent seasons at Fort Bragg, N.C.; in Williamsport, Pa.., home of the Little League World Series; and in Omaha, Neb., home of the NCAA¡¯s Men¡¯s College World Series. In August 2021 and again in August 2022, MLB held a regular season game at the famed Field of Dreams site in Iowa, celebrating the beloved baseball film. The 2021 White Sox-Yankees contest was MLB¡¯s most-watched regular season game since 1998. In 2024, MLB played its first-ever regular season games in South Korea with a season-opening series and, the day after Juneteenth, held a tribute to the Negro Leagues by playing a game at Birmingham, Alabama¡¯s legendary Rickwood Field, where Willie Mays played as a teenager.

In 2020, Manfred oversaw the successful completion of a season impacted by the COVID-19 crisis, prioritizing health and safety in its operations and creativity on and off the field. MLB became the first sports league to start and finish a season during a pandemic, doing so in its home markets as a powerful visual example to fans of a responsible return to the workplace. The 2020 season included a streak of 59 consecutive days without a positive test among players; a positivity rate of 0.05% among Major League players and staff; and a schedule with 99.8% of its 900 games played, missing only two games that had no Postseason ramifications.

Prior to being elected Commissioner, Manfred had served as MLB¡¯s Chief Operating Officer since 2013, managing the Commissioner¡¯s Office in New York on behalf of Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig. From 1998-2013, Manfred served as Executive Vice President, overseeing labor relations, economics and league affairs, and directing all collective bargaining with the MLBPA. Competitive balance has been a hallmark of MLB the last two decades, as there have been 15 different World Series Champions in the last 22 seasons, the most variety of champions in professional sports during that span. In addition, no Club has repeated as a World Champion since 2000, an active streak that is the longest in the history of not only MLB, but all professional sports. Manfred also represented MLB on all upgrades to the game¡¯s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, the toughest in American professional sports.

Under Manfred¡¯s leadership, MLB has formed core partnerships with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the Jackie Robinson Foundation and Stand Up To Cancer. In 2020, Manfred corrected a longtime mistake in the game¡¯s history by conferring Major League status on the Negro Leagues, allowing future generations to more easily learn about this pivotal chapter and its meaning to the sport. Manfred has served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Sports Lawyers Association and the Partnership for Clean Competition. He currently serves on the Board of DREAM, a nonprofit that uses the power of teams to inspire youth to recognize their potential. In April 2016, Manfred received the Judge William B. Groat Award from his alma mater, honoring outstanding professional achievement and service to Cornell¡¯s ILR. In November 2017, Manfred received the Jacob K. Javits Lifetime Achievement Award from the Greater New York Chapter of the ALS Association for MLB¡¯s efforts against Lou Gehrig¡¯s Disease. In 2021, Manfred established MLB¡¯s new annual Lou Gehrig Day to continue the game¡¯s support in the fight against ALS.

Manfred is a 1980 graduate of the School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR) at Cornell University. In 1983, he received his law degree magna cum laude from Harvard Law School, where he was an articles editor of the Harvard Law Review. Manfred was a part of the Labor and Employment Law Section of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, LLP, and became a partner in the firm in 1992.

Manfred, a native of Rome, N.Y., who was born in 1958, has been married to his wife Colleen since 1982. The New York residents have four adult children.
