“Congratulations to Gerrit on deservedly receiving the American League Cy Young Award. He was simply dominant this year and took the ball every time it was his turn. What makes Gerrit so great is how dedicated he is to being the best version of himself he can be. He’s meticulous in scouting opponents and evaluating his performances, while continually immersing himself in new ideas to make himself even better. He’s a pitcher’s pitcher, and we are lucky to have him leading our rotation and leading by example in our clubhouse. This recognition puts a further stamp on his career, so people understand he’s one of the absolute best of his generation.”
