Writers submit their ballots before the beginning of the postseason. They rank their top five selections, and points are awarded in descending order: seven points for first place, four for second, three for third, two for fourth, and one for fifth. The player with the most points wins. In the event of a tie, the award is shared.

Roger Clemens, with seven, has won more Cy Young Awards than any other pitcher in MLB history. Randy Johnson, with five, ranks second on the all-time list.
