Snell is considered the most likely candidate for the National League Cy Young Award, recording 11 wins, 9 losses, 2.60 ERA (ML 1st), 193 strikeouts (ML 4th), WHIP 1.26 (allowed to get on base per inning), and 4.2 (contribution to victory over substitute players). If Snell is selected as the winner, he will be the seventh pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in both leagues.
Thanks to Snell’s outstanding performance, San Diego was able to build a starting lineup with a league-class starting pitcher average ERA (3.79) even when Darvish was sluggish.
The curve that regained command and power became the league’s best breaking ball
Snell, who has been in his third year in San Diego, was able to make another leap forward this season thanks to his sophisticated curve command. Among Snell’s curves this season, the percentage of pitches that entered the center of the strike zone was 12%, the lowest in his career. On the other hand, the percentage of pitches that entered the lower or adjacent area of the strike zone that can lead to a swing (average 19%) rose to 44%, the highest since the 2020 season. 토토사이트
