NL Cy Young
Candidates: Clayton Kershaw, Dodgers; Max Scherzer, Nationals; Stephen Strasburg, Nationals
No matter what happened this postseason, Kershaw is baseball’s best pitcher. But he didn’t have the best season, partially because he was limited by injuries to 27 starts and 175 innings. He was splendid when he did pitch, but so were Scherzer, who led the NL in strikeouts and WAR, and Strasburg. Nationals’ teammate Gio Gonzalez also deserved some recognition this year. Yet one ace emerged above them all.
Winner: Scherzer
