Jacob Misiorowski of the Milwaukee Brewers and Cam Schlittler of the New York Yankees were honored with the Cy Young Awards for their exceptional 2026 seasons. Misiorowski dominated the National League, leading Major League Baseball with a 1.80 ERA and 252 strikeouts. He also set a new MLB record for hits allowed per nine innings, previously held since 1916. His stellar performance was a key factor in the Brewers' 103-win season and their subsequent World Series championship, making him the first pitcher since 2022 to win both awards in the same year.
In the American League, Cam Schlittler earned his Cy Young with a league-leading 1.95 ERA over 193.2 innings. He became the first Yankees starter to post a sub-2.00 ERA since 1978 and maintained an impressive streak of allowing one earned run or fewer in his final nine starts. Schlittler's consistent excellence provided a stable anchor for the Yankees offense, which faced challenges with injuries. The awards also recognized other top performers, with Louis Varland of the Toronto Blue Jays winning AL Reliever of the Year and Mason Miller of the San Diego Padres taking the NL award.
