San Diego Padres starter Blake Snell won the NL Cy Young Award on Wednesday, becoming the seventh player -- and second left-hander -- to win the award in each league.
He previously won the AL edition while a member of the Tampa Bay Rays in 2018.
Snell, 30, was 14-9 with an MLB-leading 2.25 ERA and 180 innings pitched in 2023. He also gave up the fewest hits (5.8) per nine innings while leading the majors in walks (99).
He's the third pitcher to win the award while leading his league in free passes.
