Yankees, Mets, Giants Pitchers Lead MLB Cy Young Races

Several MLB pitchers are emerging as top contenders for the Cy Young Award this season due to their dominant performances. For the New York Yankees, Max Fried has stepped up as their ace in Gerrit Cole's absence, boasting a league-leading 1.05 ERA and impressive strikeout-to-walk ratio, while Will Warren delivered his best outing with 7.1 innings of one-run baseball, showing promising improvements in velocity and pitch effectiveness. Meanwhile, Yankees prospect Griffin Herring has made a strong professional debut, dominating at Single-A with outstanding strikeout numbers and a developing changeup. The San Francisco Giants have found a steady and improving presence in veteran left-hander Robbie Ray, who has returned from surgery to post a 2.84 ERA with a 5-0 record, providing reliability in their rotation. Additionally, the New York Mets' starting rotation, led by Kodai Senga, has been exceptional with a 2.71 rotation ERA, and Senga himself boasts a 1.16 ERA, placing him among the top pitchers in the league and quietly mounting a Cy Young campaign.
