Cy Young Award Darvish's rival
The Cy Young Award is voted by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America for regular season performance and is considered the highest honor for Major League Baseball pitchers.
This season, Darvish continued to pitch stably with fastballs in the high 150km range and various changing balls, and after losing the pitcher on the first pitch, he won seven consecutive games until the 4th of this month.
So far, with 7 wins and 3 losses and an ERA of 2.22, he has taken 88 strikeouts, and the number of wins is in line with the top of the league, and both the ERA and the number of strikeouts are in 5th place in the league.
For this reason, attention is being paid to whether it is the first Japanese player to win the Cy Young Award, and the pitching on the 26th of Japan time will be the final appeal.

Pitcher
Darbish
:
▼ Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer,
▼ Mets pitcher Jacob DeGrome, and
▼ Braves Max. There are three Fried pitchers.

The Mets pitcher DeGrom has won the Cy Young Award for the second consecutive year until last season with a straight over 160 kg, with an ERA of 2.14 in the league and a strikeout of 94 in the league. is.
However, the number of wins is only 4, and the point is how much the number of strikeouts can be accumulated with the victory in the final pitching scheduled for 27th Japan time.
Braves' left-handed pitcher, Fried, has won seven wins, alongside Darvish, with an ERA of 2.25, slightly below Darvish.
However, he hurt his ankle at the final pitch of the season on the 23rd and dropped out in one inning, so he did not reach the prescribed number of pitches, and the number of strikeouts was 50, which is less than other players.
Comparing the results of the four players, it seems that there is a slight difference in all of them, and whether Darvish can win the last pitch on the 26th of Japan time, and whether he can be ranked higher in strikeout number and ERA. ..
On the other hand, in the American League, Indians pitcher Shane Bieber has so far left an overwhelming record in both leagues with 8 wins and 1 loss, an ERA of 1.63, and a strikeout of 122. It is considered to be the top candidate for the Young Award.
