Milwaukee Brewers Star Jacob Misiorowski Wins National League Cy Young Award

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitcher Jacob Misiorowski has won the National League (NL) Cy Young Award for his dominant performance during the 2026 season. Receiving first-place votes from all 30 BBWAA voters, Misiorowski won the award unanimously, surpassing finalists such as Cristopher Sánchez of the Philadelphia Phillies and Chris Sale of the Atlanta Braves.

Misiorowski led the National League in the 2026 season with a 1.80 ERA, 252 strikeouts, a 0.802 WHIP, a 2.17 FIP, and a .157 opponent batting average. This statistical success played a critical role in a season where the Brewers set a franchise record with 103 wins and secured the first World Series championship in their history.

The successful pitcher also set a record for the fastest pitch thrown by a starting pitcher, reaching 105.5 mph on June 26. With this result, Misiorowski became the second consecutive unanimous NL Cy Young winner, following Paul Skenes in 2025.
