Good for deGrom. It feels like people kind of stopped caring about awards circa Cabrera’s triple crown.

I didn't realize DeGrom is 30. I was thinking he was like 26.

Nearly 26 when he made his debut. Is there another sport where many players debut at the top level at such an advanced age?

I Voted for Justin Verlander
by Jeff Sullivan
November 15, 2018
https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/i-voted ... verlander/
I was one of 13 voters to put Verlander in first. The other 17 voters, though, put Snell in first, and as such, Snell won, and Verlander was, once again, the runner-up. Clearly, it was a close race, and I think it should have been a close race. I don’t think that Verlander got robbed, and I don’t think that Snell is an undeserving winner or anything. But one of the perks of being an award voter is that voting grants you automatic editorial content. So on the off chance you care about my own thought process, allow me to quickly explain why Verlander was my first-place pick.
