Felix Hernandez is named the American League Cy Young Award winner

On November 18, 2010 — Despite an unspectacular 13-12 record, Felix Hernandez is named the American League Cy Young Award winner ahead of Tampa Bay’s David Price (19-6) and New York’s CC Sabathia (21-7).

The 13 wins are the fewest by a starting pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in a full season -, “King Felix” draws voters’ attention with his 2.27 ERA in 249.2 innings and 232 strikeouts, just one behind AL leader Jered Weaver. Ultimatly, the lack of run support provided by the last-place Mariners made the Seattle ace an easy choice for the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, who placed him first on 21 of the 28 ballots cast.
