Logan Webb Again Overlooked in Cy Young Voting
Once again, Logan Webb, the right-handed ace for the San Francisco Giants, has found himself at the center of a contentious debate regarding the National League Cy Young Award. In a surprising outcome, Pittsburgh’s Paul Skenes claimed the prestigious honor with a unanimous vote, garnering all 30 first-place selections from the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA).
A Closer Look at the Voting Results
Following Skenes was Philadelphia’s Cristopher Sanchez, who secured all 30 second-place votes, a remarkable feat in itself. The Los Angeles Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto rounded out the top three before Webb, who finished fourth in the voting. Webb’s tally comprised 10 third-place votes, six fourth-place votes, and five fifth-place votes, culminating in a total of 47 points.
Webb’s Continued Cy Young Journey
This isn’t the first time Webb has been left on the sidelines during Cy Young voting discussions. A two-time All-Star, he has consistently demonstrated his prowess on the mound yet seems to attract a level of scrutiny that often leads to disappointment in the voting results.
As the debate around the Cy Young Award continues to unfold, Webb’s performance and contributions to the Giants remain undeniable, leaving fans and analysts alike to ponder the complexities of award voting in professional baseball.
