Major League Baseball announced its pitching awards for the 2026 season last night. Milwaukee Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski won the National League Cy Young Award in a unanimous vote. “The Miz” went 16-5 with a 1.80 ERA and 252 strikeouts over more than 174 innings. He became the first pitcher since Randy Johnson in 2001 to win the Cy Young and the World Series in the same season.
Cam Schlittler won the American League Cy Young Award, becoming the second New York Yankees pitcher to receive the honor in the last four years. Gerrit Cole won it with the Yankees in 2023 before Tarik Skubal won the last two AL Cy Young Awards while pitching for Detroit. Schlitter went 14-6 with an American League-leading 1.95 ERA. Schlittler’s 239 strikeouts tied for second in the AL with Toronto’s Dylan Cease.
San Diego closer, and western Pennsylvania native, Mason Miller and Toronto closer Louis Varland won the Reliever of the Year Awards.
