NOVEMBER 13, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jacob deGrom was named the National League Cy Young Award winner for the second consecutive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeGrom becomes the 20th<\/sup> pitcher to win multiple Cy Young Awards, a list that features seven-time winner Roger Clemens; five-time winner Randy Johnson; four-time winners Steve Carlton and Greg Maddux; three-time winners Sandy Koufax, Tom Seaver, Jim Palmer, Pedro Martinez, Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer and two-time winners Corey Kluber, Denny McLain, Bob Gibson, Gaylord Perry, Bret Saberhagen, Tom Glavine, Johan Santana, Tim Lincecum and Roy Halladay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeGrom is the seventh NL pitcher to win the award in consecutive seasons. Maddux (1992-95) and Johnson (1999-2002) each won four years in a row. The other back-to-back winners were Koufax (1965-66), Kershaw (2013-14), Lincecum (2008-09) and Scherzer (2016-17). Successive victories have occurred five times in the AL: twice by Clemens (1986-87; 1997-98) and once each by Palmer (1975-76), Martinez (1999-2000) and Denny McLain (1968-69).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This election marks the seventh time a Mets pitcher has been honored. In addition to deGrom last year, other Mets winners were Seaver in 1969, 1973 and 1975; Dwight Gooden in 1985 and R.A. Dickey in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeGrom is the second former Rookie of the Year Award recipient (NL 2014) to win more than one Cy Young Award. The other is Seaver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeGrom was the only pitcher listed on every ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ballots, submitted prior to postseason play, were cast by two writers representing each league city. They are tabulated on a system that awards seven points for first place, four points for second place, three points for third place, two votes for fourth place and one point for fifth place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
