The finalists include Trevor Bauer of the Reds and Jacob DeGrom of the Mets, who are also promising candidates for the Cy Young Award, and Darvish pitched on his Twitter account as "three players voted among players." I'm really happy that I was able to do it. "

No Japanese player has ever been selected as the best pitcher for the award.
