Tarik Skubal confirmed his greatness in 2025.

The left-handed ace for the Detroit Tigers won his second consecutive American League Cy Young Award on Wednesday, outpointing Boston Red Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet and Houston Astros right-hander Hunter Brown in voting conducted by the Baseball Writers Association of America.

Skubal becomes the first pitcher to win back-to-back Cy Young Awards since Jacob deGrom in 2018-19 and the first AL pitcher since Pedro Martinez in 1999 and 2000.

Skubal finished 13-6 with a 2.21 ERA and 241 strikeouts in 195 innings, leading the AL in both Baseball-Reference WAR (6.5) and FanGraphs WAR (6.6) while also leading qualified pitchers in ERA, strikeout rate (32.2%), lowest walk rate (4.4%), OBP allowed (.240) and OPS allowed (.559).
