The award, first given in 2002, is named after Joe Bauman, who set a then–professional record with 72 home runs in 1954, while playing for the Roswell Rockets of the Class-C Longhorn League.[1]

The award was named for Bauman in 2004.[2] It is presented by Musco Lighting at the Baseball Winter Meetings each December. The winner receives a check worth $200 for every home run hit.[3] [4] The most recent winner of the award is MJ Melendez of the Kansas City Royals organization.
