Tampa Bay Rays and Vanderbilt Alumnus David Price Front-Runner for 2010 American League Cy Young Award

        Tomorrow is potentially another big day for Tampa Bay Rays’ pitcher David Price. On Thursday, November 18, 2010, at 2:00 p.m., the American League Cy Young winner will be announced. Earlier, the players voted David Price the American League’s Most Outstanding Pitcher of the Year. In the players’ choice award David beat out Felix Hernandez and C.C. Sabathia, the two other most likely pitchers in contention for the Cy Young. David Price finished the season with a 19-6 record and a 2.72 ERA. Additionally, he was selected to, and started, the All-Star game this year.



        By all reports, David is excited, but remains humble. As someone who watched David grow as a player at Vanderbilt, it is great to see him continue to excel both on the mound and as a leader. It is not surprising that David won the players’ vote. In what many consider a tight race, if the Baseball Writers’ Association looks beyond the stats (even though David did have great stats) and looks at the candidates’ impact and performance both on and off the field, I am confident that David will come away with the Cy Young.
