- He set a Yankees record with 21 starts allowing one run or fewer.
- His strong postseason record contrasts with the Yankees’ early exit.

## Summary

Cam Schlittler is favourite to win the American League Cy Young Award after a season in which he became one of baseball’s leading pitchers. His record-setting results stand out as a bright spot for the Yankees, who were swept out of the playoffs, and show how quickly the 25-year-old has risen from an unheralded prospect.

Schlittler posted a 1.95 ERA, the American League’s best, and allowed one run or fewer in 21 starts, a major-league lead and Yankees record. His 239 strikeouts tied for fourth most in franchise history, while his 1.16 road ERA ranked among the lowest seasonal marks since 1913. He has a 1.44 ERA across four postseason starts, and has led the majors in ERA since his debut in July 2025; he says winning a championship matters more to him than individual honours.
