Pirates Ace Paul Skenes Wins First Cy Young Award
Skubal led the American League with a 2.21 ERA, 241 strikeouts, and earned 26 of 30 first-place votes to win his second straight Cy Young Award.
- On Wednesday, Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal won his second consecutive American League Cy Young Award, earning 26 of 30 first-place votes and finishing ahead of Garrett Crochet and Hunter Brown.
- After Tommy John surgery and early injuries, Skubal's improved health and command produced a 31-10 record with a 2.30 ERA over the past two seasons, anchoring Detroit's rotation.
- Using a fastball that averaged nearly 98 mph, Skubal paired that with a changeup that limited hitters to a.154 average and recorded 12 scoreless starts of at least six innings plus a May 25 two-hit shutout with 13 strikeouts.
- With one season left until free agency, Skubal's future challenges the Detroit Tigers to pursue an extension or consider trade options given Scott Boras's negotiation history.
- His repeat title makes Skubal the first back-to-back winner since Jacob deGrom and the first AL repeat since Pedro Martinez, becoming the 12th player and one of five Tigers to win consecutive Cy Youngs.
