National League Cy Young Winners
History of the Cy Young Award?
The Cy Young Award is an honor given annually in baseball to the best pitchers in the Majors for the National League. The award started in 1956 by Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick in honor of Hall of Fame pitcher Cy Young after his death in 1955. The award was originally given to the single best pitcher in the major leagues, but in 1967, after the retirement of Frick, the award was given to one pitcher in each league. Below you will find a list of National League Cy Young Winners. The Award is also given to the best American League Pitcher (List of American League Cy Young Winners)
How are the Award Winners Determined?
The National league’s award is voted on by members of the Baseball Writers Association of America (a professional association for baseball journalists writing for daily newspapers, magazines and qualifying web sites.), with two representatives from each team, which means 28 ballots are cast for the American League winner, and 32 ballots are cast for the National League. The formula used to calculate the final scores is a weighted sum of the votes. The pitcher with the highest score in each league wins the award. If two pitchers receive the same number of votes, the award is shared.
