He moved through Pittsburgh, to the Houston Astros where he had arguably the best statistical season a pitcher has produced in the modern game (2019: 20-5, 2.50 ERA, 326 strikeouts), and then to New York where the Yankees signed him to one of the richest contracts a pitcher had received in the sport's history at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚾ The 2023 season with the Yankees produced the individual award that had been building across a career built on elite velocity, a curveball that professional hitters find genuinely difficult to distinguish from his four-seamer until it breaks out of the zone, and the competitive composure of a pitcher who rises in performance as the game situation rises in importance. The American League Cy Young Award in 2023 was the formal recognition of what everyone in the game already understood. The 2013 Bowman Chrome is his earliest mass-produced Topps-licensed card – the rookie card documentation from the year he arrived on major league rosters as a Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher for the first time.
