Dylan Cease was named a finalist for the American League Cy Young Award on Monday, along with Justin Verlander of the Houston Astros and Alek Manoah of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Cease, 26, went 14-8 with a 2.20 ERA in 32 starts. He finished second in the AL in ERA, strikeouts and opponents average and third in strikeouts per nine innings .
Cease’s slider was one of the best pitches in baseball and it was on display throughout the season, including a stretch of 14 consecutive starts from May 29 to Aug. 11 in which he allowed one earned run or none. He became the first major-league starter since 1913 to accomplish the feat.[Don't miss] Chicago White Sox exercise Tim Anderson’s club option for 2023 and decline their option on Josh HarrisonThe Sox have had three Cy Young Award winners: Early Wynn , LaMarr Hoyt and Jack McDowell .
“It’s cool,” Cease said on Oct. 1 of being considered with Verlander. “I’ve been watching him since I was young. To be competing against him in a way like that is really cool, and obviously he’s had an incredible year. It was fun to watch.”
