Cy Young
Named for the winningest pitcher in baseball history, the Cy Young Award is voted upon by the Baseball Writers' Association of America prior to the beginning of the postseason. From 1956 to 1966, the award was given to one pitcher, but has been given to one pitcher per league since 1967. The vote totals are based on a weighted points system.
The winners of the 2024 Cy Young Awards will be announced Nov. 20. Tarik Skubal (AL) and Chris Sale (NL) led the most recent MLB.com staff poll.
