Trevor Bauer is looking to become the Cincinnati Reds first ever Cy Young Award winner later tonight. The announcement is set to be made for the winners in both the National League and American League on MLB Network’s announcement show at 6pm ET.
The Cincinnati Reds have had five second place finishes in their history when it comes to Cy Young Awards, but they’ve never had a winner. Bauer’s 2020 season may give them the best shot. He led the National League in ERA, WHIP, batting average against, hits allowed per 9-innings pitched, shutouts, and ERA+. He also finished second in the league in strikeouts and strikeouts per 9-innings pitched.
