"Paul Skenes, with a 2.12 ERA and impressive strikeout rates, is positioned as a favorite for the NL Cy Young, but he faces stiff competition."

Paul Skenes, having a standout second season with a 2.12 ERA, is a leading candidate.

Other pitchers could overshadow his performance as the season progresses.
