Sterling Award


The Sterling Awards are annual baseball awards given to the top players in the New York Mets organization at each level of the minor leagues. The two principal awards are the Sterling Minor League Organizational Player of the Year and the Sterling Minor League Organizational Pitcher of the Year. Nine additional awards are given to the most valuable player on each of the Mets-affiliated teams in Minor League Baseball (MiLB). The award was originally called the Doubleday Award in honor of former Mets co-owner Nelson Doubleday, Jr.. When Doubleday sold his shares of the team to fellow co-owner Fred Wilpon, the name of the award was changed to the Sterling Award.

These nine awards are given to the MVP on each of the nine minor league affiliates.
