Atlanta’s Mike Foltynewicz makes this list of 12 sleeper candidates to capture the NL Cy Young Award in 2019. Folty took a big step forward in 2018 and will be looking to prove that it was no fluke this season.
Foltynewicz has been one of MLB’s hardest-throwing starters for years now, but opponents were still knocking his fastballs around. The difference now is that Folty has found a dynamite mix of secondary pitches: His microscopic .127 average allowed on non-fastballs last year tied Kluber for the lowest of any full-time starter.
