SB Nation Awards, #2: MLB Pitcher of the Year

In yesterday's poll, we asked you who was the best hitter across all of major-league baseball this year. It was quite a close fight, but in the end, Bryce Harper just beat out Paul Goldschmidt, by a margin of 48-45%; pretty much nobody else got a look-in. I can't say I can really disagree with the decision, as Harper's season at the plate was just insanely good - and he's a year younger than Mike Trout. Dammit, just wish Harper was in the American League, so that Goldie would have a better chance at the MVP award.

We now move on to the Pitcher of the Year, with the same conditions - we don't distinguish between AL and NL here, but have the three nominees for the Cy Young award from each league. Though in this case, I think the separation of the two leagues makes for some particularly interesting arguments, especially in the National League, where you can make an excellent case for any of the three candidates, and I can't say I would be too surprised if any of them were to win when the awards are announced tomorrow night on the MLB Network. But, in this case [adopts Sean Connery voice], there can be only one...

Here are the figures for the six contenders.

As previously, vote in the poll and explain your choice in the comments.
