Scherzer then shook his head and turned to his locker, left to an offseason of wondering why his best stuff was not good enough when he needed it most. But it was good enough more often than not in 2016, so often that he was named the National League Cy Young Award winner Wednesday night, as voted on by the Baseball Writers Association of America.
A month after that crushing loss, Scherzer sat with family and college friends on a boat in the British Virgin Islands, hollering with joy as he was sprayed with champagne, celebrating an impressive consolation prize. Scherzer became the sixth pitcher — and first since Roger Clemens in 2004 — to win baseball’s highest pitching honor in each league. |
