This is Verlander's third career Cy Young Award, making him one of 11 pitchers to win three. He won his first back in 2011 with the Detroit Tigers, and won again in a close race with then-Astros teammate Gerrit Cole in 2019. This was the sixth time Verlander was a finalist. 

It can be argued that Verlander maybe should have five Cy Young Awards — he arguably was robbed in 2016 when he lost to Rick Porcello, who had eight first-place votes to Verlander's 14, but the point system gave Porcello the nod. Verlander also narrowly lost to Blake Snell in 2018.

Even more impressive, though, is Verlander led the majors with a 1.75 ERA and 0.83 WHIP at age 39 after missing the entire 2021 season and throwing just one inning the season prior. 

White Sox' Dylan Cease and Blue Jays' Alek Manoah finished second and third, respectively.

TERRY FRANCONA, BUCK SHOWALTER NAMED 2022'S TOP MANAGERS

As for Alcanatara, he's a first-time winner, and earned all 30 first-place votes — despite being named an All Star in 2019, it was the 2022 season where he made the league know his name. 

He led all of baseball with 228.2 innings — 23.2 more than the second-most — and six complete games, doubling the second-most in the league. His 2.28 ERA was second in the NL behind Julio Urias, who finished in third place. In fact, he actually led all the National League in WAR (8.0), He also had a 0.98 WHIP.

Alcantara entered the season as a pitcher that was slated to take that next step, but no one could have expected this. He is the first Marlin to ever win the award, and the third Dominican-born player to win it (Bartolo Colon, Pedro Martinez).

Braves' Max Fried finished second, while Phillies' Aaron Nola and Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen rounded out the top-five.
