The 2022 Cy Youngs were announced today, and both of them are unanimous (i.e., received all 1st-place votes). Justin Verlander of the Houston Astros won the American League Cy Young Award, and Sandy Alcántara of the Miami Marlins won the National League Cy Young Award.
I expected Justin Verlander to win, but not to be unanimous. I would have been very surprised if Sandy Alcántara were not unanimous. No other pitchers were anywhere close to Alcántara this year. Only once before have both leagues had unanimous Cy Young Award winners in the same year. That was in 1968, when Denny Mclain won in the AL and Bob Gibson won in the NL.
