NOVEMBER 17, 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robbie Ray was elected as the American League Cy Young Award winner, the fifth time a Toronto pitcher has won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Blue Jays winners were Pat Hentgen in 1996, Roger Clemens in 1997 and \u201898 and Roy Halladay in 2003. Ray and runner-up Gerrit Cole were the only pitchers listed on every ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ray\u2019s victory total of 13 is tied for the fewest for a starting pitcher over a full season to win the American League award, matching that of the Seattle Mariners\u2019 Felix Hernandez in 2010. The fewest victories overall by a Cy Young-winning starting pitcher in a full season is 10 by the 2018 National League winner, Jacob deGrom of the New York Mets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the second runner-up finish for Cole, who with the Houston Astros in 2019 ran second to then teammate Justin Verlander. <\/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
