At the end of each regular season, the Big Ten Conference names major award winners in baseball. Currently, it names a Coach, Pitcher, Player, and Freshman of the Year. The Player of the Year award, which dates to 1982, is the oldest. Coach and Freshman of the Year were added in 1988, and Pitcher of the Year was added in 1993.[1]
Through the end of the 2014 season, Ohio State has won 28 major awards, the most of any program. Four other schools have won at least ten: Minnesota (18), Illinois (15), Michigan (15), and Indiana (12).[1]
The Coach of the Year award is given annually to the Big Ten's best head coach, as chosen by a vote of the conference's coaches. It was first presented in 1988.
