Despite the weird circumstances surrounding the 2020 MLB season, New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom is still dreaming about winning his third Cy Young award in a row. He will only 60 games to make the strongest impression, as opposed to the usual 162 that the calendar offers year in, year out.
In the history of the game, only 11 hurlers went on to win consecutive Cy Young awards, and two of them, Hall of Famers Greg Maddux and Randy Johnson, did it three times in a row. In fact, they both won four straight.
“I don’t think it would feel the same,” deGrom said to MLB.
