Last year, there was no suspense: Sandy Alcantara won the Cy Young in the National. The pitcher was simply dominant.
But this year? It’s not the same thing.
Take, for example, his month of May. He failed to achieve the consistency of which he had the secret in 2022.
As you can see, it was not famous.
Today, he faced the A’s. On paper, it was the perfect opportunity to relaunch and find the path to respectability.
But it didn’t happen.
In seven innings, he passed seven guys in the mitt. That said, he gave five earned runs to the worst club in MLB, which is not good.
Even worse? He was booed by Marlins fans.
Boo him in Miami a few months after his Cy Young is wild, we will tell each other. His 5.07 GAA, 2-5 record, 1.22 WHIP and 67 strikeouts in 12 outings is nothing short of flamboyant.
Alek Manoah isn’t the only one with an impressive fall.
