Having already gotten the writers' vote in winning the AL Cy Young award, Rays LHP Blake Snell is also the players' choice as the league's top pitcher.

Snell on Tuesday was named the AL's Outstanding Pitcher in a vote of the players and presented by the union.

Snell led the AL with 21 wins, a 1.89 ERA, a .178 opponents average and .554 OPS, a 7.4 WAR per baseball-reference.com, and in allowing just 5.58 hits per nine innings.

Runners-up, per the union announcement, were Boston's Chris Sale and Houston's Justin Verlander.

In a video accompanying the announcement, Snell said "To be selected by the players means the most because it's the people that I compete against on a day to day basis."
