Texas League Player of the Year Award

The Texas League Player of the Year Award is an annual award given to the best player in minor league baseball's Texas League. In 1931, Dizzy Dean won the first ever Texas League Player of the Year Award.

First basemen, with 19 winners, have won the most among infielders, followed by third basemen (16), second basemen (7), and shortstops (6). Two catchers have also won the award. Thirty outfielders have won the Player of the Year Award, the most of any position. A total of five pitchers have won the award. The Texas League established a Pitcher of the Year Award in 1933. The five pitchers who won Player of the Year Awards won the honor before its creation and during two periods in which the pitcher's award was not given.
