Corey Kluber Finishes Third in AL Cy Young Voting

Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber finished third in the AL Cy Young Award voting, as Red Sox right-hander Rick Porcello won the award.

Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers came in second.

Kluber received three first place votes, six second place votes and 12 third-place votes.

Oddly enough, more writers voted Verlander for first place, but Porcello had more second place votes.

Pitcher, Team 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Points
Rick Porcello, Red Sox 8 18 2 1 1 137
Jason Verlander, Tigers 14 2 5 4 3 132
Corey Kluber, Indians 3 6 12 8 1 98
Zach Britton, Orioles 5 3 2 5 9 72
Chris Sale, White Sox 1 4 9 6 40
J.A. Happ, Blue Jays 3 2 1 14
Aaron Sanchez, Blue Jays 1 3 6
Masahiro Tanaka, Yankees 1 4 6
Andrew Miller, Yankees/Indians 1 3
Michael Fulmer, Tigers 1 1
Jose Quintana, White Sox 1 1

If the polling had been done after the playoffs, Kluber had a much stronger case, but it’s a regular season award and the votes were cast right at the end of the season.

Kluber won the award in 2014, making this the second time he was in the top three.

Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals was named NL Cy Young.
