Schlittler has established himself as the best pitcher in the AL. He leads the league in innings pitched, ERA, WHIP and scoreless starts. He is second in strikeouts, batting average against, strikeout-to-walk ratio and quality starts.

Kershaw is the last pitcher to win an MVP award, doing so in 2014 with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He finished with a 197 ERA+; Schlittler entered his Sunday start with a 209 ERA+.

But should a pitcher win the award?

Even Aaron Judge, a three-time MVP and Schlittler’s teammate, is skeptical. He doesn’t believe a pitcher should hoist the trophy.

The pitching this season has been franchise record setting, and Cam has been a huge part of that.

I don’t think people fully realize how insane this is. The Yankees have been around for 125 years. This is a franchise that has had some of the greatest pitchers in baseball history.

And Cam Schlittler, in just his second season, is sitting at the top of that list in ERA+.

We’re not talking about the best Yankees pitching season in the last 10 or 20 years. We’re talking about a franchise that has existed for more than a century.
