Kluber Wins His 2nd Cy Young; Scherzer Now Has Three

The BBWAA went to familiar terrain when it came this year's Cy Young Award in both leagues.

Cleveland Indians ace Corey Kluber won his second AL Cy Young having won previously in 2014. Kluber went 18-4 with a 2.25 ERA. His wins and ERA led the league. Kluber also fanned 265 batters. While Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale had more than 300 strikeouts, Kluber finished the season stronger winning 11 of his final decisions.

Meanwhile, Max Scherzer has won back to back NL Cy Young Awards. The Washington Nationals' ace went 16-6 with a 2.51 ERA and led the NL in strikeouts with 268. Scherzer best his Nats' teammate Stephen Strasburg and three time NL Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw. Like Kershaw, Scherzer now has three Cy Youngs having won the AL Cy Young in 2013 while with the Detroit Tigers.

Of course, I'm sure both Kluber and Scherzer would trade their Cy Youngs for a World Series ring in the time it takes a fastball to hit the strike zone.
