The Hutch Award is given annually to an active Major League Baseball (MLB) player who "best exemplifies the fighting spirit and competitive desire" of Fred Hutchinson, by persevering through adversity.[1] The award was created in 1965 in honor of Hutchinson, the former MLB pitcher and manager, who died of lung cancer the previous year.[2] The Hutch Award was created by Hutch's longtime friends Bob Prince, a broadcaster for the Pittsburgh Pirates and KDKA; Jim Enright, a Chicago sportswriter; and Ritter Collett, the sports editor of the Dayton Journal Herald.[3] They also created a scholarship fund for medical students engaged in cancer research to honor Hutchinson's memory.[4]

Eleven members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame have won the Hutch Award.[5] The inaugural winner was Mickey Mantle.[4] Danny Thompson, the 1974 recipient, was diagnosed with leukemia earlier that year. He continued to play through the 1976 season before dying that December at the age of 29.[6] Jon Lester won the award in 2008 after recovering from anaplastic large-cell lymphoma.[5]

The award is presented annually at the Hutch Award Luncheon hosted by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington, at Safeco Field.[7] The award was originally presented at the annual Dapper Dan Banquet in Pittsburgh.[8] Each winner receives a copy of the original trophy, designed by Dale Chihuly.[9] The permanent display of the Hutch Award is at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, where it has been since 1979.[10]
