So far this season, Zach Britton is pitching at a level no relief pitcher has ever done. Even as good as he’s been, it’ll be tough for him to win the Cy Young award.
From 1969 to 1980, the Orioles had a Cy Young winner six times. They have not had a winner ever since. If we’re all being honest with ourselves, this year is probably not the year that the drought is going to end, but the Orioles do have a couple of pitchers who are at least on the fringe of Cy consideration in Chris Tillman and Zach Britton.
