It’s been over 12 years since a San Diego Padres player won the NL Cy Young award, but that could be coming to an end soon.
With the young pitching talent the Padres have coming up, it feels like they’re on the brink of competing for Cy Young awards again.
Jake Peavy was the last Padres player to win the award back in 2007 when he finished with 6.2 WAR, according to Baseball Reference.
And there hasn’t been a pitcher since then put up a 5 WAR or better season for the Padres.
