The Men's College World Series Most Outstanding Player is an award for the best individual performance during the NCAA Division I Men's College World Series[a] (MCWS) in Omaha, Nebraska. The recipient of the award is announced at the completion of the MCWS Championship Series. The award is similar to Major League Baseball's World Series Most Valuable Player award. Division II introduced their own Most Outstanding Player award for their inaugural tournament in 1968 while Division III also has their own Most Outstanding Player for their baseball tournament.[1][2]
Since 1999, the winner of the award has received a miniature replica of "The Road to Omaha" sculpture, which is situated at the current MCWS site of Charles Schwab Field Omaha. The award measures 16 inches high.[3] There have been 10 recipients of this award who were on not on the winning team of the College World Series. The MCWS started in 1947 as the College World Series, but the award was not given out until 1949.
