The Athletic | Chris Kirschner and Dennis Lin: Unanimous. We all knew it was coming, but Gerrit Cole has finally won a Cy Young after a six-year run of dominance. Across 209 innings pitched, Cole pitched to the tune of a 2.63 ERA and his best home run rate in a uniform. With the honor, Cole becomes the first Yankees pitcher to win the award since Roger Clemens. As Kirschner put it, Cole was “the standard” for an ace this year. Volume, consistency, and reliability.
Baseball Prospectus | Russel Carleton: Bunting has been in the news lately.
