There was immediate confusion because Tepera, who finished up his sixth MLB season and first with the Chicago Cubs, finished with a 3.92 ERA with 31 strikeouts in 21 games. It was one more vote than Bryce Harper, Jacob deGrom and Nolan Arenado.
As it turns out, a baseball writer made a mistake voting for him.
