context_page_description: The International League Most Valuable Pitcher Award is an annual award given to the best pitcher in Minor League Baseball's International League. Managers from the 14 International League teams vote for the winner of the award, which is then combined with 14 votes from various general managers, broadcasters, and media representatives around the league to determine a winner. From 1932 to 1952, IL pitchers were eligible to win the Most Valuable Player Award as no award was designated for pitchers. A total of 4 pitchers have won the MVP Award. In 1953, Bob Trice of the Ottawa A's won the first International League Most Valuable Pitcher Award.
  One International League Most Valuable Pitcher Award winner, Tommy Lasorda, has gone on to be inducted in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
