Corbin Burnes had an amazing season in 2021, and he was a clear candidate for the Cy Young Award for most of the season. With the season wrapped up, award finalists were announced today on MLB Network, and Corbin Burnes is one of the finalists this season. Zack Wheeler of the Phillies and Max Scherzer of the Dodgers are the other two pitchers in the top three.
Adam McCalvy adds Burnes is the first Brewer to finish in the top three of voting since Pete Vuckovich in 1982. Burnes in the top three is an obvious choice after the season he had.
