The Roger Clemens Award was an award that honored the top NCAA Division I college baseball pitcher of the year. The award was created prior to the 2004 season and succeeded the Rotary Smith Award.
Roger Clemens was an extremely successful college player with the Texas Longhorns before starting his professional career.
The winner was determined by a vote of all Division I head coaches, selected members of the media, all past winners of the Roger Clemens Award, as well as all past winners of the Rotary Smith Award. The award was discontinued following the 2008 college baseball season.
Since 2009, the Pitcher of the Year Award presented by the College Baseball Foundation now honors the top NCAA Division I college baseball pitcher of the year.
