The argument that anyone other than Jacob deGrom should be the National League’s Cy Young Award winner is over. Despite the New York Mets’ best attempts to ruin their ace’s record, deGrom managed to put up a 10-9 record while leading the major leagues in ERA by a wide margin. deGrom finished the year with a 1.70 ERA, well ahead of the other contenders for the award like Aaron Nola (2.45 ERA) and Max Scherzer (2.53 ERA). The only category where anyone has a significant edge over deGrom is strikeouts, where Scherzer became only the 17th pitcher in big league history to rack up 300 punch outs in a single season.<\/p>\n
