The Roberto Clemente Award is presented each year to the player who best represents the game through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field. Prior to Clemente’s death, MLB’s annual award for philanthropic efforts was named the “Commissioner’s Award,” but it was renamed the “Roberto Clemente Award” in 1973.

One player from each club is nominated each year. This year’s nominees include seven 2026 All-Stars and 14 first-time nominees. The nominees will be recognized in ballparks beginning on Tuesday, this year’s Roberto Clemente Day (September 15th).

This year’s 30 nominees are: 
Angels: Zach Neto*
Astros: Josh Hader
Athletics: Zack Gelof*
Blue Jays: George Springer
Braves: Austin Riley*
Brewers: Christian Yelich
Cardinals: Jordan Walker*
Cubs: Dansby Swanson*
