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

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
