The Midwest League Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) is an annual award given to the best player in Minor League Baseball's Midwest League based on their regular-season performance as voted on by league managers. League broadcasters, Minor League Baseball executives, and members of the media have previously voted as well. Though the league was established in 1947, the award was not created until 1956. After the cancellation of the 2020 season, the league was known as the High-A Central in 2021 before reverting to the Midwest League name in 2022.
Deacon Jones won the first Midwest League Most Valuable Player Award in 1956.
Willie Wilson, the 1975 MVP, was selected for the 1982 and 1983 MLB All-Star Games.
Paul Molitor, the 1977 winner, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2004.
Albert Pujols, the 2000 MVP, won the National League Rookie of the Year Award in 2001 and the NL MVP Award in 2005, 2008, and 2009.
