Tampa Bay Rays lefty Blake Snell and New York Mets ace Jacob de Grom were named the AL and NL Cy Young Awards. It is the first Cy Young for both pitchers.
After going 5-7 with a 4.04 ERA in 2017, Snell had a breakthrough season in 2018 leading the AL in wins with 21 and with a 1.89 ERA. Snell, 25, also fanned 221 batters and beat out Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander to win the honors.
Although de Grom had less than stellar 10-9 won loss record, he led the NL with a 1.70 ERA fanning 269 batters in 217 innings pitched and bested three time Cy Young winner Max Scherzer.
Tomorrow the AL and NL MVP Award winner will be announced.
