The Manager of the Year Award winners are announced around two weeks after the World Series concludes as part of MLB's awards season. In 2023, the winners were announced on Nov. 14.
The Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) votes on the winners of the Manager of the Year Award. Two writers in each MLB city get to vote, and votes must be submitted before the postseason begins. Voters get a first-, second-, and third-place vote which are worth five, three, and one point respectively. The manager with the most points, regardless of the number of first-place votes, wins the award.
MLB's Manager of the Year trophy is a baseball diamond on a pedestal that includes the name of the award and the name of the winning manager.
