Cam Schlittler emerges as AL Cy Young favorite amid injury to Skubal

Cam Schlittler has established himself as a strong contender for the AL Cy Young Award this season, leveraging an impressive start with a 2.13 FIP and 2.8 fWAR through his first 13 games. Tarik Skubal, originally the favorite, is sidelined due to injury, creating an opening for Schlittler in the race. Utilizing a combination of three fastballs—four-seamer, cutter, and sinker—Schlittler has excelled in disrupting hitters, achieving a 100th percentile Fastball Run Value. The New York Yankees look to maintain strong pitching depth as they cope with Aaron Judge's absence due to injury.
