Cy Young Award
The Cy Young Award is an annual accolade presented to the best pitchers in Major League Baseball. Named after Hall of Fame pitcher Cy Young, the award recognizes the top pitchers in both the American League and National League based on their performance throughout the regular season. Pitchers are evaluated on criteria such as wins, earned run average, strikeouts, and overall dominance on the mound. The Cy Young Award is considered one of the most prestigious honors a pitcher can receive in professional baseball.
