Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Nov, 01:02 · Archive

Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler won the American League Cy Young Award as a unanimous choice.

Cam Schlittler was the unanimous choice to win the American League Cy Young Award on Wednesday night, becoming the second New York Yankees pitcher to receive the honour in the last four years. The 25-year-old went 14-6 with an AL-leading 1.95 ERA, which ranked third in Yankees history behind Spud Chandler's 1.64 in 1943 and Ron Guidry's 1.74 in 1978. Schlittler's 239 strikeouts tied for second in the AL with Toronto's Dylan Cease, behind Cleveland's Gavin Williams with 248.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in a statement that Schlittler 'had as dominant a season as a starting pitcher can have from start to finish'. Boone praised his 'tireless appetite for hard work and refinement'. The award is voted on by the Baseball Writers Association of America.

Gerrit Cole won the Cy Young Award with the Yankees in 2023, having been the first Yankee to win since Roger Clemens in 2001. Toronto's Louis Varland won the AL reliever of the year award, while San Diego's Mason Miller won the award in the National League. This was the first year the BBWAA voted on a reliever of the year.
