The primary half of the MLB season featured quite a lot of memorable moments and performances from the highest pitchers within the sport.
In June, Yardbarker supplied an early take a look at how every main award race was shaping up. With the All-Star break upon us, this is how the Cy Younger Award race stands coming into the second half of the season.

1. Tarik Skubal | Detroit Tigers
Arguably probably the most gifted pitcher within the American League, Skubal is among the few vibrant spots in an in any other case disappointing season for the Tigers. Along with racking up the fifth-most strikeouts within the majors this season (140), the hard-throwing lefty ranks second in each ERA (2.41) and WHIP (0.88) and first in bWAR (4.5).
Skubal needs to be the AL’s beginning pitcher for the 2024 All-Star Recreation, but when he continues to dominate hitters down the stretch, it is exhausting to think about that he’ll be snubbed for the Cy Younger Award.
