Cam Schlittler wins AL Cy Young unanimously after dominant season to join elite Yankees company

Cam Schlittler won the American League Cy Young Award unanimously after a dominant first full season, earning all 30 first-place votes. The 25-year-old right-hander is the Yankees’ seventh winner of the award and joins Ron Guidry and Gerrit Cole as the club’s unanimous recipients.

Schlittler led the AL with a 1.95 ERA, allowed one or no runs in a major-league-best 21 starts and pitched 193⅔ innings, the second-highest total in the league. A former seventh-round pick, he developed from a low-90s thrower into a power pitcher with three fastballs that can reach triple digits; since his 2025 debut, his 2.23 ERA is the majors’ best over that span.
