Pacific Coast League Manager of the Year Award

The Pacific Coast League Manager of the Year Award is an annual award given to the best manager in Minor League Baseball's Pacific Coast League (PCL) based on their team's regular season performance. Though the league was established in 1903,[1] the award was not created until 1967.[2] Managers, officials, and broadcasters from the 16 PCL teams and media representatives in each city across the league vote for the winner of the award.[3]
