Brewers' Misiorowski, Yanks' Schlittler unanimous Cy Young winners - ESPN

Jacob Misiorowski and Cam Schlittler, the two most dominant starters in baseball in 2026, were named unanimous Cy Young Award winners Wednesday.

Misiorowski, the ace of the World Series champion Milwaukee Brewers, received all 30 first-place votes for the National League honor, finishing ahead of Cristopher Sanchez of the Philadelphia Phillies in second and Chris Sale of the Atlanta Braves in third.

Schlittler, the New York Yankees' breakout No. 1 starter, swept the American League award, with Dylan Cease of the Toronto Blue Jays in second place and Parker Messick of the Cleveland Guardians in third.

San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller and Toronto Blue Jays closer Louis Varland won the Baseball Writers' Association of America's inaugural Reliever of the Year award in their respective leagues.

Varland earned 16 of the 30 first-place votes for the AL honor. The right-hander's 1.27 ERA across 78 innings was the lowest in the majors among qualified relievers. He finished the season with 35 saves in 71 appearances.

Miller took the NL award unanimously after logging one of the best reliever seasons in recent history. The right-hander was an overwhelming force late in games, logging a 1.67 ERA with 38 saves and 129 strikeouts — the most in baseball among relievers — in 70 innings across 66 appearances. He finished with a 47.6% strikeout rate, sixth all time among pitchers with at least 50 innings pitched.

Miller's 101.4 mph average fastball velocity was tops in the majors. Misiorowski, incredibly, wasn't far off.

Misiorowski, 24, went 16-5 with a 1.80 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 252 strikeouts in 30 starts across 174⅔ innings — leading the majors in ERA, WHIP, and strikeouts — as the Brewers won an MLB-best 103 games. His 6.6 fWAR led
