The voters were confused over which group Young belonged in and split his vote resulting in him being short in both. Between having the pitching award named for him and his high WAR, I don't see that changing. Wojo is a close 2nd with Matty 3rd.

Wow! Love learning something new. This should be a bonus question on some baseball trivia game.

Young
WaJo
Matty

They all studs, but that would be my order
