Ohtani's "MVP-Siyoung Award at the same time" is too much? Cole leads AL Cy Young mock vote by landslide
Cole and Galen are considered the most likely candidates for the Cy Young Award in both leagues.
MLB, the official website of Major League Baseball, released the results of its own mock voting for the Cy Young Awards in both leagues in the 023 season on August 16.
A total of 49 people participated in the vote, and the vote was carried out by giving five to one point to the first to fifth-place votes, just like the actual Cy Young vote.
In the American League, Gerrit Cole (NYY), who received 38 first-place votes, was the overwhelming leader. Cole pitched 156.1 innings in 25 games this season, posting 10 wins and 3 losses, 2.76 ERA, and 166 strikeouts, ranking second in the American League ERA, tied for seventh in multiple wins, first in innings and third in strikeouts. Cole, who ranked fourth in the batting average and fifth in the WHIP (on-base percentage per inning) crisis, remains at the top in almost all categories, showing the best overall performance. Cole has been included in the top five Cy Young votes in his career, but he has never won a prize.
Kevin Gausman (TOR), the "No. 1 strikeout" with 139 innings in 23 games, 9 wins and 6 losses, a 3.04 ERA, and 183 strikeouts, came in second. Gausman received six first-place votes. Shohei Ohtani (LAA), who has 130.2 innings, 10 wins and 5 losses, 3.17 ERA and 165 strikeouts in 22 games, came in third with two first-place votes. Otani, who is likely to win the American League MVP, is also active on the mound, but it is not easy to win the MVP-Cyyoung Award at the same time.
Like Otani, Nathan Eboldi (TEX), who received two first-place votes, but was pushed from below the second-place vote, came in fourth, while Pramber Valdes (HOU), who did not receive the first-place vote, came in fifth. In addition, Sonny Gray (MIN), Felix Batista (BAL, 1st place vote), Jack Eflin (TB), Luis Castillo (SEA), George Kirby (SEA), Pablo Lopez (MIN) and Logan Gilbert (SEA) succeeded in winning the vote.
In the National League, Jack Galen (ARI) topped the list. Gallen, however, received only 14 first-place votes, which was not as overwhelming as Cole of the American League. Galen pitched 155.2 innings in 25 games this season, recording 12-5 with a 3.24 ERA and 165 strikeouts. He is fourth in ERA in the National League, tied for fourth in multiple wins, third in innings, first in WHIP (1.07) and eighth in batting average.
Blake Snell (SD), who came in second, received 21 first-place votes, far more than Gallen. However, he was far behind the second-place vote and failed to reach the top spot. Snell has 130 innings, 9 wins and 8 losses, a 2.63 ERA, and 171 strikeouts in 24 games, ranking first in the overall ERA in Major League Baseball, and is also second in the National League in strikeouts. However, at the same time, it is also ranked first in the Major League Baseball's overall walk allowance, which has a big deduction factor.
Third place was Justin Steel (CHC), who ranked second in the National League ERA (2.79) and tied for first place in multiple wins (13 wins). Steele got five first-place votes. However, Steel played 126 innings, ranking only in the top 20 in the league in this category. Another weakness is that there are only 120 strikeouts. Spencer Striker (ATL), the No. 1 strikeout player in the Major League (217K), came in fourth with nine first-place votes, more than Steel. Striker is leading in strikeouts and multiple wins (13 wins), but his weakness is that his ERA is too high at 3.75. 토토
While Logan Webb (SF) ranked fifth without first place votes, Jack Wheeler (PHI), Corbin Burns (MIL), Senga Kodai (NYM), Merrill Kelly (ARI), Clayton Kershaw (LAD), Josh Hader (SD), Devin Williams (MIL), and Alexis Diaz (CIN) also won the first place.
