Baraje, who is head coach of El-Kanemi Warriors, led his men to a flawless performance in the month of July winning all three matches for the period under review, against Kano Pillars, Nasarawa United and Wikki Tourists, without conceding.
The El-Kanemi trainer edged Ladan Bosso (Bayelsa United), Salisu Yusuf (Enyimba) and Kabiru Sulaiman Dogo (ABS) for the manager's award.
The trio of Bosso, Yusuf and Dogo led their teams to unbeaten run in July but fell two points short of Baraje's El-Kanemi while Stanley Eguma of Dolphins also led his team through an unbeaten streak that helped them notch up just five points from the three rounds of matches played last month.
Akwa United striker, Udoh, had to compete with Austin Brown, Ibrahim Shuaibu, Tayo Fabiyi, Ezekiel Thompson and Raphael Boumsong for the player's award.
The striker scored five of Akwa United's six goals last month.
Dolphins goalkeeper, Brown and Shuaibu of Wikki Tourists came closest to fending off Udoh from winning the LBA Player for July with eye-catching performances.
The winners will be handed their awards later in August.
The LBA has been in the forefront of rewarding excellence among the major actors of the Premier League in Nigeria since 2009.
