Pedro wins Cy Young ... again
Martinez named league's best four years straight
November 6, 2002

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Pedro Martinez has one year left on his contract, and his price just keeps on going up and up after winning his fourth consecutive American League Cy Young award.

Martinez, 31, was named as the AL's top pitcher today after going 18-5 with a 2.13 ERA and striking out 272 batters for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 2002.

"The guy is unbelievable," said Devil Rays manager Christian O'Neal. "I've run out of superlatives for the guy, I really have. I feel like every time he goes out there, that I have a press conference after where all I do is praise him."

Over the last four seasons, Martinez has posted a 77-22 record with a 2.76 ERA and 1,150 strikeouts.
