There's more than four -- the CYA was first awarded in 1956, and 12 (of 23) were retired before then.
Another two (Wynn, Spahn) were late in their careers when the CYA was founded, but both managed to win one before hanging up the spikes.
That leaves us with nine -- six of whom have awards: Clemens (seven), Carlton (four), Maddux (four), Seaver (three), Perry (two), and Glavine (two).
The shutouts: Niekro has none. Ryan, none. Sutton, none. And they are the only 300+ winners during the Cy Young Award era who never took home the award.
The 12 pre-CYA pitchers: Galvin, Keefe, Welch, Radbourn, Clarkson, Young himself, Nichols, Mathewson, Plank, Walter Johnson, Alexander, and Grove.

Sir Bird beat me to it; he's right.
But it really helps to ask the question correctly in the first place and to get it right that there are THREE and not FOUR who were eligible but did not win.
