After Wednesday night’s victory over the Indians, Trevor Cahill improved his record to 14-5.
Cahill was named to the American League All-Star team this season and is having a season in which he is worthy of Cy Young consideration.
Cahill currently has a 2.43 ERA, which is second among American league starting pitchers. He also has a WHIP just over one (1.005).
Although he may be worthy of a Cy Young, Cahill will have a hard time getting recognition because he plays in the small market of Oakland and is not on a contending team.
The A’s are currently 63-62 and eight and a half games back in the American League West.
Cahill is hardly ever talked about and it seems not many people know who he is or what kind of year the 22-year-old right-hander is having.
If more people begin to take note of Cahill, he can become the first Oakland Cy Young award winner since Barry Zito. However, it seems Cahill is being ignored right now and it is hard to believe there will be a drastic change in the next month and a half.
