As we gear up for the Cy Young Awards announcement, the buzz around Chris Sale and Tarik Skubal is palpable. Sale's impressive 2.38 ERA and dominance in the NL has many convinced he’s a lock for the award, while Skubal's 18-4 record and 1.96 ERA in the AL have him in a strong position as well.
But let’s dive deeper into this discussion. Are we witnessing a shift in pitching dominance with younger talents like Paul Skenes making waves? With his low ERA and solid strikeout rate, could he be the next big thing in the league?
Moreover, what does this mean for the future of veteran pitchers? Are we seeing the twilight of the traditional ace, or is there still room for the seasoned pros like Sale and Lugo to shine?
Let’s not forget about Emmanuel Clase, who, despite a lower strikeout rate, has managed to keep his BABIP low. Is this a sustainable strategy for success in today’s game, or is it just a temporary trend?
I want to hear your thoughts! Who do you think will take home the Cy Young this year? Are there any bold predictions you’d like to make about the future of pitching in MLB? Let’s get the conversation rolling!
