The Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Year Award is an annual award given to the best pitcher in minor league baseball's Pacific Coast League. Managers from the 16 Pacific Coast League teams and media representatives in each city across the league vote for the winner of the award. From 1927 to 2000, PCL pitchers were eligible to win the Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) as no award was designated for pitchers. A total of 10 pitchers have won the MVP Award. In 2001, Denny Stark won the first ever Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Year Award.
