He got 29 of the 30 possible votes.

Analytics have really changed baseball. DeGrom had 21 wins – for the two Cy Young seasons added together! Of course, it’s not his fault that the Mets suck. He did have the highest WAR of any NL pitcher.

Verlander and Cole were almost tied for the AL award, with Verlander winning 171-159. That vote total very accurately reflected the similarity of their seasons. Verlander, like DeGrom, led his league in pitching WAR.
