First the first time in 29 years, the Cy Young Award goes to a Milwaukee Brewer. Corbin Burnes is the 2021 NL Cy Young Award winner. The award was announced tonight on MLB Network. Corbin Burnes received 12 of 30 first place votes, and finished with a total of 151 points. Zack Wheeler finished in second, also with 12 first place votes but only had 141 points. Max Scherzer finished in third with 113 points and 6 first place votes, and Walker Buehler was fourth with 70 points.
Corbin Burnes’ case for the Cy Young award this season was one of the best the Brewers have had in decades.
