International League Manager of the Year Award

Add article description

The International League Manager of the Year Award is an annual award given to the best manager in Minor League Baseball's International League based on their regular-season performance as voted on by league managers.[1] Broadcasters, Minor League Baseball executives, members of the media, coaches, and other representatives from the league's clubs have previously voted as well.[2][3] Though the circuit was founded in 1884,[4] it did not become known as the International League on a consistent basis until 1912. The first Manager of the Year Award was not issued until 1967. After the cancellation of the 2020 season,[5] the league was known as the Triple-A East in 2021 before reverting to the International League name in 2022.[6][7]
