SB Nation Awards: Best pitcher

You could vote for up to five pitchers here, with points on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis. Don't think you'll be too surprised by the winner in the National League...

1. Clayton Kershaw
2. Matt Harvey
3. Adam Wainwright
4. Cliff Lee
5. Jose Fernandez

If this isn't unanimous, I'd be really shocked. By every pitching metric except wins (which... yeah.) Kershaw was head and shoulders above everybody else in the NL.... That's all I really have to say.

1. Matt Harvey - sure, he doesn't have as much fWAR as Kershaw, but all his numbers look better, and he had less time due to injury. Harve had a better FIP and xFIP, better K/9, BB/9, and HR/9)
2. Clayton Kershaw - before I looked at the numbers, I wrote down Keshaw. And don't let it get twisted, he had a great year. It just feels like his Cy Young campaign is largely driven off his gaudy ERA, which is still good when you look at FIP, but not as good as Harvey. Kershaw's sub 2 ERA was driven partially by good or lucky defense behind him.
3. Adam Wainwright
4. Cliff Lee
5. Jose Fernandez - a rookie who gets docked on fWAR due not having as many innings, but his peripherals all look very good.

And here are the American League results.
