The Creme-de-la Creme of the pitchers each year is chosen as the best in the game and is Awarded the "Cy Young" which is emblematic of being designated the best of their respective Major Leagues.

The Cy Young award is given to the best of the American League and the best of the National League from the corps of pitchers in the major leagues.
