Dallas Keuchel Wins 2015 A.L Cy Young Award

After leading the American League in wins and leading the Houston Astros pitching staff in their return to the postseason, Dallas Keuchel took home the 2015 A.L Cy Young Award as the league’s best pitcher.

The Tulsa, Okla., native received 22 of the 30 possible votes from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America; David Price, who split the season between Detroit and Toronto, received the other eight and finished in second place. Oakland’s Sonny Gray finished in third.

Keuchel finished the season with a 20-8 record, 216 strikeouts and a 2.48 ERA. He was virtually unhittable at home in Minute-Maid Park, where he went undefeated in 18 starts; that stretch made him the first ever pitcher to win at least 15 games without dropping a decision at home.

The Cy Young isn’t left-hander’s first award of the offseason; earlier this week he took home his second consecutive Gold Glove alongside teammate Jose Altuve.
