Positives From This Season
Umm...he had his best year as a Padre and was so good that he’s going to win the National League Cy Young award? If Snell does win it, he would join Gaylord Perry, Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, Roger Clemens, Roy Halladay and Max Scherzer as the only pitchers in Major League Baseball history to win a Cy Young in both the AL and the NL.
I could throw a bunch of stats at you but I think this tweet from Jeff Passan represents how good Snell was:

That is 19 runs -- 18 earned -- in 135 innings.
