With the Iowa Cubs victory on Friday night in Toledo, I-Cubs manager Marty Pevey picked up his 1500th career victory. Pevey is the longest-tenured manager in franchise history. On April 12, 2018, Pevey collected his 1,000th career managerial victory, while also becoming the winningest skipper in Iowa history with his 356th victory at the head of the club.
Pevey has won 856 games while at the helm of the I-Cubs and has the fifth-most career wins among active MiLB skippers in his 23 seasons as a manager. In 2019, Pevey led the Iowa Cubs to their first PCL American Northern Division Championship since 2008.
Pevey joined the Cubs’ organization in 2009 as the manager for the Peoria Chiefs in the Midwest League. He led the Chiefs to an 81-57 record and was named the Midwest League’s co-Manager of the Year. He also served as the Cubs’ catching coordinator from 2010-12. This season marks Pevey’s 44th in professional baseball, having played for 13 and coached for 30 entering 2026.
Pevey began his managerial career in Toronto’s organization with Short-A Medicine Hat from 1996-97. He managed Low-A Hagerstown and was named the South Atlantic League’s Manager of the Year in 1998. After serving as Toronto’s bullpen coach in 1999, Pevey returned to the managerial ranks with Advanced-A Dunedin (2000-02), Double-A New Haven (2003) and Triple-A Syracuse (2004-05) before returning to Toronto’s Major League staff as the first base coach in 2006 and then third base coach from 2007-08.
As a player, Pevey was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 19th round of the 1982 draft out of Georgia Southern University where he was a three-time All-Conference selection. Pevey played 13 seasons, including nine at Triple-A. He made his major league debut with the Montreal Expos on May 16, 1989 and played 13 games in his only big league season.
To all the players and coaches he has worked alongside, developed, and touched over the years, we congratulate Marty Pevey on this significant milestone and for what is yet to come.
