Jhoan Duran burst onto the scene as the Minnesota Twins' best pitcher in 2022, regularly mowing down opposing hitters with his triple-digits fastball, a nasty curve, and an upper-90s splitter sinker hybrid called a "splinker."

Joe Ryan, Sonny Gray, Kenta Maeda, and Tyler Mahle could all viably take the award home too, making it perhaps the most interesting prediction of the offseason. Plus, odds and picks for the team's Rookie of the Year, a promising group led by Edouard Julien and eventually Royce Lewis. Let's break it all down!
