Zac Gallen followed up last year’s fifth-pace finish by coming third in the 2023 National League Cy Young award, behind Blake Snell and Logan Webb. Snell got 28 of the available 30 first-place votes, with one each going to Webb and Gallen - Barry M. Bloom was the writer who voted for Gallen. Webb took the runner’s up spot based on a higher number of down ballot votes than Gallen, for example getting 17 second-place votes while Gallen managed only three. The Braves Spencer Strider actually got more second spots (6), though Zac did appear on more ballots overall, being listed on 26 of the 30 which fed into the final results.
