D-backs pitcher has great reason for not shaving

Diamondbacks pitcher Archie Bradley may have cracked the code to pitching success, and he's been working towards this goal since October.

Dude hasn't shaved.

Speaking to reporters on the first day of spring training, Bradley was sporting some incredible facial hair. It was something he decided to keep and brought up the recent bearded Cy Young winners.

Bradley was 8-9 with a 5.02 ERA in 2016, but hey, he might have a point. Look at the past NL Cy Young winners.

R.A. Dickey - 2012

Beard.

Clayton Kershaw - 2013 and 2014

Beard.

Jake Arrieta - 2015

Really awesome beard.

Max Scherzer - 2016

Well, uh, 2016 was a weird year.

Congrats to Archie Bradley on his 2017 NL Cy Young Award!
