Jacob deGrom was named the National League Cy Young Award winner for the second consecutive season.

DeGrom becomes the 20th pitcher to win multiple Cy Young Awards, a list that features seven-time winner Roger Clemens; five-time winner Randy Johnson; four-time winners Steve Carlton and Greg Maddux; three-time winners Sandy Koufax, Tom Seaver, Jim Palmer, Pedro Martinez, Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer and two-time winners Corey Kluber, Denny McLain, Bob Gibson, Gaylord Perry, Bret Saberhagen, Tom Glavine, Johan Santana, Tim Lincecum and Roy Halladay.

DeGrom is the seventh NL pitcher to win the award in consecutive seasons. Maddux (1992-95) and Johnson (1999-2002) each won four years in a row. The other back-to-back winners were Koufax (1965-66), Kershaw (2013-14), Lincecum (2008-09) and Scherzer (2016-17). Successive victories have occurred five times in the AL: twice by Clemens (1986-87; 1997-98) and once each by Palmer (1975-76), Martinez (1999-2000) and Denny McLain (1968-69).

This election marks the seventh time a Mets pitcher has been honored. In addition to deGrom last year, other Mets winners were Seaver in 1969, 1973 and 1975; Dwight Gooden in 1985 and R.A. Dickey in 2012.

DeGrom is the second former Rookie of the Year Award recipient (NL 2014) to win more than one Cy Young Award. The other is Seaver.
