Southern League Pitcher of the Year Award
The Southern League Pitcher of the Year Award is an annual award given to the best pitcher in Minor League Baseball's Southern League based on their regular-season performance as voted on by league managers. League broadcasters, Minor League Baseball executives, and members of the media have previously voted as well. Though the league was established in 1964, the Most Outstanding Pitcher Award, as it was originally known, was not created until 1972. After the cancellation of the 2020 season, the league was known as the Double-A South in 2021 before reverting to the Southern League name in 2022. The award became known as the Pitcher of the Year Award in 2021.
Bill Campbell won the first Most Outstanding Pitcher Award in 1972 and won two American League Rolaids Relief Man Awards.
Geoff Combe, the 1979 winner, was one of five Nashville Sounds pitchers to win the award over a five-year period (1978–1982).
Francisco Cordero, who won in 1999, was selected to play in three MLB All-Star Games.
Mark Buehrle, the 2000 winner, became a five-time MLB All-Star and pitched a perfect game.
