Koby Clemens is the eldest son of power pitcher Roger Clemens. Born on December 4, 1986 in Houston, Texas, he was a two sport star at Memorial High School, splitting time between football and baseball before he suffered a back injury ending his brief football career.

He signed with The University of Texas at Austin to play catcher on November 17, 2004. Six months later the Houston Astros picked Clemens in the 8th round of the amateur draft, 254th overall, also as a third baseman. On July 18, 2005, he played his first game with the rookie league, the Greenville Astros, an affiliate of the Houston Astros. In his first minor league baseball season he hit .297 with four homers and 17 RBIs in 33 games for the Rookie League Greeneville Astros and .281 with six RBIs in nine games with the Class-A Tri-City Valley Cats.

He has expressed no intent or desire to pitch like his father, who himself feels that his son should make it on his own merits, not just ride on the family name. Koby Clemens hit a home run off of his father Roger Clemens in an exhibition game, where Roger was pitching to minor leagers. After Koby hit the home run, Roger brushed his son off the plate, with a high tight one on February 27th 2006.
