The Cy Young Award winners have been announced for 2025. Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates has won the National League Cy Young Award, and Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers has won the American League Cy Young Award.

Skenes has won a significant Major League Baseball award for the second straight year. Last season he won the National League Rookie of the Year. In 2025, Skenes led the Major Leagues with a 1.97 earned run average and the National League with a 0.95 WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched). He had a record of 10 wins and 10 losses in 32 games and 187 2/3 innings pitched. Skenes had one complete game and 216 strikeouts, and gave up 136 hits, 41 earned runs, 11 home runs, and 42 walks. Skenes’s complete game came on May 18 in a 1-0 Pirates loss to the Philadelphia Phillies in an all-Pennsylvania matchup.



Skubal won the Cy Young Award for the second straight season. He led the American League with a 2.21 earned run average and the Major Leagues with a 0.89 WHIP. Skubal’s record this season was 13 wins and six losses. During 195 1/3 innings pitched and 31 games, Skubal gave up 141 hits, 48 earned runs, 18 home runs and 33 walks, to go along with 241 strikeouts. Like Skenes, Skubal had one complete game this season. However, Skubal’s complete game was a shutout win which came on May 25 in a 5-0 Tigers win over the Cleveland Guardians. Skubal threw a two-hitter, and had 94 pitches of which 72 pitches were strikes. He also had 13 strikeouts and zero walks. It was possibly the most efficient single game pitching performance this season.
