In the National League, it was Cincinnati Reds Ace, Trevor Bauer. Bauer posted a 1-point-seven-three ERA and struck out 100 batters on the season. He finished with a record of five wins and four losses; adding onto that, Bauer lead the NL in shutouts with two. The 29-year-old became the first Reds pitcher to win the award. The one-time all-star will enter free agency this offseason, and he will certainly be the top-target of multiple contending teams.
