New York Mets‘ ace Jacob deGrom has been named a Cy Young finalist for the third time in a row, according to an announcement made by MLB on Monday night. He won the award in the previous two seasons, and has a very good chance of taking it home for the third consecutive year.
If he wins, the Mets’ ace will join a select group of hurlers with three consecutive Cy Youngs: Greg Maddux and Randy Johnson. Yes, they are both in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
The “Big Unit” won it four years straight from 1999-2002.
