The Northwest League Manager of the Year Award is an annual award given to the best manager in Minor League Baseball's Northwest League based on their regular-season performance as voted on by league managers.[1] Broadcasters, Minor League Baseball executives, and members of the media have previously voted as well.[2] Though the league was established in 1955,[3] the award was not created until 1956.[4] After the cancellation of the 2020 season,[5] the league was known as the High-A West in 2021 before reverting to the Northwest League name in 2022.[6][7]
The only managers to win the award on three occasions are Steve Decker (2005, 2006, and 2007), Cliff Ditto (1971, 1976, and 1977), and John McNamara (1960, 1961, and 1962). Eight others have each won twice: Tim Hulett, Hugh Luby, Bobby Malkmus, Rob Mummau, Fred Ocasio, Greg Riddoch, Fred Stanley and Joe Vavra.
Ten managers from the Eugene Emeralds have been selected for the Manager of the Year Award, more than any other team in the league, followed by the Spokane Indians (8); the Lewiston Broncs (7); the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes (6); the Tri-City Padres (4); the Boise Hawks, Everett AquaSox, Salem Dodgers, Southern Oregon Timberjacks, and Vancouver Canadians (3); Bellingham Mariners, Hillsboro Hops, Medford A's, Tri-City Dust Devils, Walla Walla Padres, and Yakima Bears (2); and the Bellingham Giants, Central Oregon Phillies, Grays Harbor Loggers, Portland Rockies, Rogue Valley Dodgers, Tri-Cities Triplets, and Wenatchee Chiefs (1).
Nine managers from the Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants Major League Baseball (MLB) organizations have each won the award, more than any others, followed by the San Diego Padres organization (7); the Los Angeles Dodgers organization (6); the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers organizations (5); the Chicago Cubs, Colorado Rockies, Kansas City Royals, and Toronto Blue Jays organizations (3); the Arizona Diamondbacks, Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles Angels, Philadelphia Phillies, and St. Louis Cardinals organizations (2); and the Cincinnati Reds organization (1). Five award winners managed teams that were not affiliated with any MLB organization.
