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. Managers from the 16 Pacific Coast League teams and media representatives in each city across the league vote for the winner of the award.^[1] In 1967, Johnny Lipon won the first ever Pacific Coast League Manager of the Year Award. The only manager to have won the award on three occasions is Dan Rohn who won in 2001, 2004, and 2005. Other managers with more than one award are Rocky Bridges, Jim Lefebvre, and Jimy Williams, each with two wins. Lefebvre (1985 and 1986) and Rohn (2004 and 2005) won the award in consecutive years.

Seven managers each from the California Angels/Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Major League Baseball (MLB) organizations have won the award, more than any others, followed by the Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants organizations (5); the Chicago Cubs organization (4); the Cleveland Indians, Houston Astros, and Seattle Mariners organizations (3); the Minnesota Twins, Philadelphia Phillies, and Texas Rangers organizations (3); and the Arizona Diamondbacks, Milwaukee Brewers, New York Mets, Pittsburgh Pirates, San Diego Padres, and St. Louis Cardinals organizations (1).
