The Baseball Innovation Award™ is an independent recognition program established by the Baseball Innovation League Association (BILA) to honor meaningful advancements in baseball through devices, technologies, and methods.

Unlike traditional honors centered on teams or individuals, this award evaluates what was built, designed, or implemented—and how effectively it solves real baseball-related problems. Eligible innovations may include physical devices, digital systems, training methods, safety solutions, fan-engagement tools, or operational technologies that demonstrate clear value in real-world use.

The Baseball Innovation League Association oversees the award’s framework, judging standards, and review process, ensuring consistency, transparency, and credibility. Submissions are evaluated by qualified reviewers with experience across baseball operations, technology, coaching, and sports innovation. By recognizing practical and scalable innovation, The Baseball Innovation Award™ aims to encourage continued progress in the sport and provide visibility to ideas that help shape the future of baseball.
