OKLAHOMA CITY // The Tampa Bay Rays pitcher David Price has won the Warren Spahn Award, recognising the top left-handed pitcher in the major leagues.
Price trailed Boston's Jon Lester until the final week of the season in the award's point system, which evaluates pitchers based on wins, strikeouts and ERA.
Lester gave up eight runs in his final start of the season against the Chicago White Sox, failing in his bid to become the first Red Sox left-hander in 57 years to win 20 games.
That allowed Price to move ahead. The AL starter in this year's All-Star game finished 19-6 with a 2.72 ERA and 188 strikeouts.
Price has been invited to accept the award at a gala in Oklahoma City in January. CC Sabathia of the New York Yankees won it the past two years.

How will Gen Alpha invest?
Mark Chahwan, co-founder and chief executive of robo-advisory firm Sarwa, forecasts that Generation Alpha (born between 2010 and 2024) will start investing in their teenage years and therefore benefit from compound interest.
“Technology and education should be the main drivers to make this happen, whether it’s investing in a few clicks or their schools/parents stepping up their personal finance education skills,” he adds.
Mr Chahwan says younger generations have a higher capacity to take on risk, but for some their appetite can be more cautious because they are investing for the first time. “Schools still do not teach personal finance and stock market investing, so a lot of the learning journey can feel daunting and intimidating,” he says.
He advises millennials to not always start with an aggressive portfolio even if they can afford to take risks. “We always advise to work your way up to your risk capacity, that way you experience volatility and get used to it. Given the higher risk capacity for the younger generations, stocks are a favourite,” says Mr Chahwan.
Highlighting the role technology has played in encouraging millennials and Gen Z to invest, he says: “They were often excluded, but with lower account minimums ... a customer with $1,000 [Dh3,672] in their account has their money working for them just as hard as the portfolio of a high get-worth individual.”
