The Chicago Cubs’ success can be attributed to the emergence of a few players who arrived this season to propel them toward a new postseason run, one of which is pitcher Justin Steele.
Steele, who is only 28 years old and has three seasons of major league experience, has become a real “ace” in the Bears’ rotation. Not only that, he is currently a strong candidate to win the Cy Young Award. The league, national championship came despite a tough battle with Blake Snell.
The southpaw holds the MLB’s dominant record (16-3) and a staggering 2.49 ERA. Two statistics rank him No. 1 among NFC prospects.
He was followed by Blake Snell (Padres), Zach Gallen (Rattles), Spencer Strider (Braves) and the Phillies’ Zach Wheeler. Despite this, Snell still made people talk about it with a record of 209 strikeouts (13 wins and 9 losses) and an ERA of 2.52.
In the American League, Gerrit Cole appears to be on his way to the first Cy Young of his major league baseball career. The right-hander is one of the few pieces of good news for the New York Yankees.
Cole’s record of (13-4), 2.79 ERA, and 204 hits made him the only strong candidate in the American League to win the award.
Finally, he has so far surpassed Luis Castillo of the Seattle Mariners, Kevin Gausman of the Toronto Blue Jays, Sonny Gray of the Minnesota Twins and Frambert Vardy of the Houston Astros Hereby.
