The Mike Coolbaugh Award is presented annually by Minor League Baseball (MiLB). The award, first given in 2008, is presented to a MiLB figure who has shown "an outstanding baseball work ethic, knowledge of the game, and skill in mentoring young players on the field."[1]
The award was developed to honor Mike Coolbaugh, who died—while coaching at first base—when he was struck by a line drive during a MiLB game in July 2007.[2] It is presented at the annual MiLB banquet at the baseball winter meetings.[2]
