Congratulations to Zack Greinke of the Kansas City Royals on winning the 2009 American League Cy Young Award.
Greinke led the A.L with a 2.16 ERA, the lowest in the league. His 242 strikeouts alongside his 16-8 record this season was astounding, given the season the Royals had. They finished tied with the Cleveland Indians for last place in the A.L Central. The Royals got off to a hot start thanks to the Royals’ pitching, but injuries took their toll and it turned into another long season.
He had some tough competition in Felix Hernandez, Justin Verlander and CC Sabbathia but he was the deserving candidate! Best of luck in the offseason and next year.
