Seattle Mariners Double-A athletic trainer Jeremy Clipperton has received the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society's (PBATS) highest Minor League award as the top athletic trainer in all of the Minor Leagues.

Voted on by his peers in PBATS, this award is given to an athletic trainer that exemplifies the best in athletic training for their players and demonstrates a deep concern for the community and fellow athletic trainers.
