CY YOUNG
Winners announced Weds., Nov. 11 on MLB Network
AL finalists: Shane Bieber (CLE), Kenta Maeda (MIN), Hyun Jin Ryu (TOR)
Bieber: No surprise here, as Bieber took home the pitching Triple Crown — not just for the American League, but for the Majors as a whole. After finishing fourth in 2019 AL Cy Young Award Voting, the Indians right-hander led all AL pitchers in wins (eight), ERA (1.63) and strikeouts (122).
Maeda: The Twins got exactly what they were hoping for with Maeda, who led the Majors with a dominant 0.75 WHIP after being acquired from the Dodgers as part of the three-team blockbuster deal involving Mookie Betts in February. The right-hander finished 6-1 with a 2.70 ERA and 80 strikeouts in just 66 2/3 innings over 11 starts.
Ryu: After leading the Majors with a 2.32 ERA and finishing second in NL Cy Young Award voting as a member of the Dodgers in 2019, Ryu picked up right where he left off in ’20. The left-hander went 5-2 with a 2.69 ERA while averaging a career-best 9.7 strikeouts per nine innings in his debut season with the Blue Jays.
