Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski, Yankees' Cam Schlittler win Cy Young Awards

Jacob Misiorowski won the National League Cy Young Award on Wednesday night after helping the Milwaukee Brewers win their first World Series title while setting a new standard for velocity by a starting pitcher.

New York Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler was a unanimous choice to win the American League Cy Young Award.

This was the first full season in the big leagues for both Misiorowski and Schlittler after they made their respective MLB debuts in the summer of 2025.

The award is voted on by the Baseball Writers Association of America.

Toronto's Louis Varland won the AL reliever of the year award, while San Diego's Mason Miller was a unanimous selection for the NL version of the award. This marks the first year that the BBWAA voted on a reliever of the year.

Misiorowski becomes the fourth Brewer to win a Cy Young Award. The others were Rollie Fingers (1981), Pete Vuckovich (1982) and Corbin Burnes (2021). Fingers also won the MVP award in 1981, when the Brewers still played in the American League.

The 24-year-old right-hander posted a 1.80 ERA, struck out 252 batters and limited hitters to a .157 batting average to lead the major leagues in all three categories. The only other pitchers since 1950 to lead the majors in ERA, strikeouts and opponents' batting average were Sandy Koufax in 1965, J.R. Richard in 1979 and Mike Scott in 1986.

That .157 batting average was the lowest since 1900 for any AL or NL pitcher with 100 or more innings. Misiorowski also owned an 0.80 WHIP (walks and hits allowed per innings pitched) that represented the lowest in a full regular season for pitchers with at least 150 innings since Pedro Martinez had an 0.73 for Boston in 2000.
