Blake Snell has won the NL Cy Young award, receiving 28 of the 30 available first place votes with his 2.25 ERA over 180.0 IP. Snell winning with that kind of margin is pretty questionable with his 3.77 FIP, but awards voters tend to skew much more towards old-school stats (ERA, wins, innings pitched, etc.) and awards voting has been a mess for a while now. Spencer Strider finished fourth, but with a strange distribution of votes, being left off of 7 ballots. This is Strider’s first time receiving Cy Young votes and he was nearly a finalist for the award.
