Indians’ Corey Kluber wins 2nd Cy Young in 4 seasons

Courtesy Cleveland Indians.

Corey Kluber of the Indians, who also was honored in 2014, became the 19th pitcher to win multiple Cy Young Awards.

He joins seven-time winner Roger Clemens; five-time winner Randy Johnson; four-time winners Steve Carlton and Greg Maddux; three-time winners Sandy Koufax, Tom Seaver, Jim Palmer, Pedro Martinez, Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer (this year’s NL winner) and two-time winners Denny McLain, Bob Gibson, Gaylord Perry, Bret Saberhagen, Tom Glavine, Johan Santana, Tim Lincecum and Roy Halladay.

It marked the fifth time an Indians pitcher has won. In addition to Kluber’s two victories, other Cleveland winners were Gaylord Perry in 1972, CC Sabathia in 2007 and Cliff Lee in 2008.

Kluber and Sale were the only pitchers named on every ballot.

Ballots from two writers in each league city prior to postseason play are tabulated on a system that rewards seven points for first place, four points for second place, three points for third place, two votes for fourth place and one point for fifth place.
