The 25-year-old right-hander was named the American League's top pitcher on Nov. 11, with the Baseball Writers' Association's 30 voting members putting him over the top after a season that put him in the franchise's record books.\n\nSchlittler finished his sophomore year in the Yankees rotation with a 1.95 ERA over 33 starts, numbers that drew immediate comparisons to Ron Guidry's legendary 1978 campaign, when Guidry posted a sub-2.00 ERA in his second year as a starter and became the youngest Yankee to win the Cy Young at the time. Schlittler has now taken that title from him.\n\nManager Aaron Boone has watched Schlittler grow into the role over the course of the year, saying the right-hander has become an ace in every facet of the job. Schlittler is the seventh pitcher in Yankees history to win the Cy Young, joining a list that stretches back decades, and he did it at age 25.","published_at":"2026-11-12T00:33:00.666659+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cam Schlittler wins AL Cy Young.
