New York Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler has emerged as a potential candidate for the American League Cy Young Award, leading the league with a 1.50 ERA and a league-low six hits allowed per nine innings. Although Aaron Judge, a top contender for the AL MVP, is having a solid season, his performance has not matched his highest levels from previous years. Schlittler has allowed only six earned runs in his last eight starts, showcasing himself as one of baseball's best starters. If he continues this trajectory, he could secure the Cy Young this season.
