#Rays Snell said he decided during the off-season he wanted to win the Cy Young, set his mind to it, and went out and did it. But, he admitted, "for it to happen is crazy.''

Let’s just say I won’t be going to Tampa any time soon #Tampastrikesagain #CyYoung ... Justin wants everyone to know I’m “joking”

Snell on the innings argument: "I would've been excited to see what an extra 30 (innings) would've looked like. I really feel like I could've lowered my ERA even more, honestly. Next year, I'm going to have to prove it."

Here's 34 seconds of the nastiest @snellzilla4 breaking balls from 2018.

Favoring sliders and curveballs more often while keeping them low and out of the zone made him flat-out unhittable.
