Predictions for AL & NL Cy Young Award Winners
American Legion Baseball

The Cy Young Award is the highest award a pitcher can receive. This award is given out to the best pitcher in the American league and National league. The award can be won with the best ERA, best record or the batting average of a team when facing that pitcher. The overall stats of the pitcher determine if they are considered in the conversation of winning it. Here are my predictions on who is going to win the Cy Young in the AL & NL.

AL Cy Young Winner- Cole Hamels

Hamels has made opposing batters look silly this year. With a record of 13-4 not many teams have had success against him. He has a ERA of 2.80 witch is 2nd among all AL pitchers. He has a WHIP of 1.28 and has pitched 160.2 innings for the Texas Rangers. He has 159 strikeouts and makes batters guessing every time they are up at the plate.

Runners up for AL Cy Young Winner

Danny Duffy- 2.66 ERA 11-1

Rick Porcello- 3.23 ERA 17-3

Corry Kluber- 3.13 ERA 13-8

NL Cy Young winner- Madison Bumgarner

Bumgarner is by far the best pitcher in the NL. He has an ERA of 2.44 and his record is 12-8. His WHIP is 1.05 witch is considered one of the best in baseball. Without Bumgarner, the Giants aren’t in playoff contention. He has pitched 180.2 innings witch lead the league. Bumgarner has 202 strikeouts and also makes people guessing up at the plate.

Runners up for NL Cy Young Winner

Kyle Hendricks- 2.19 ERA 12-7

Noah Syndergaard 2.61 ERA 11-7

Jake Arrieta- 2.61 ERA 16-5

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
