The Baseball Writers Association of America named Jacob deGrom the best pitcher in the National League and awarded him his second consecutive Cy Young. This is the first time in franchise history that a Met player won the award in back-to-back seasons, and he joins the legendary Tom Seaver as the only player in team history to win the award twice as a Met.
deGrom received all but one first place votes. Hyun-Jim Ryo and Max Scherzer tied for second place. Stephen Strasburg took fourth.
The award is the culmination of another stellar year for the righty who finished the season with a 2.
