Wilbur Snypp Award

The NCBWA / Wilbur Snypp Award yearly honors a professional for contributions to the sport of collegiate baseball. Voting is done by a panel of previous winners, who include past NCAA World Series directors, College Sports Information Directors of America Hall of Fame members, decorated media members, and others.
"I'm very humbled and honored to have won this award for doing a job I love. College baseball is important to Baseball America magazine and BaseballAmerica.com, and I would not have been in position to be considered for the award if not for BA's commitment to the sport. That commitment is the main reason that three BA staffers have now won the Snypp, and we intend to maintain that commitment with the help of players and coaches who shape the sport. Thank you." - John Manuel
