Jacob Misiorowski, Cam Schlittler Win AL, NL Cy Young 2026 Awards, Full MLB Voting Results

Milwaukee Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski and New York Yankees ace Cam Schlittler earned some hardware Wednesday for their breakout 2026 seasons.

Schlittler won the 2026 American League Cy Young award and finished ahead of fellow finalists Dylan Cease and Parker Messick. Misiorowski captured the 2026 National League Cy Young award by defeating fellow finalists Chris Sale and Cristopher Sánchez.

Here are the voting results:

They weren't the only pitchers to win awards Wednesday, as Louis Varland of the Toronto Blue Jays won the American League Reliever of the Year. San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller took home the same award for the National League.

As for Schlittler, he flashed ace potential as a midseason call-up in 2025 with a 2.96 ERA and 84 strikeouts in 73 innings.

This season saw Schlittler live up to the promise of his first year. He led the AL with a 1.95 ERA in 193.2 innings and earned his first All-Star nod.

Schlittler became the first Yankees starter with a sub-2.00 ERA in a season since Ron Guidry in 1978. It was also the lowest ERA for an AL starting pitcher since Justin Verlander in 2022.

As the Yankees offense struggled for long stretches of the season with Aaron Judge injured, Schlittler always gave them a chance to win when he was on the mound.

The right-hander allowed one earned run or fewer in 21 of his 33 starts, including each of his final nine outings in the regular season.

Schlittler is the seventh pitcher in Yankees history to win the Cy Young award and the first since Gerrit Cole in 2023. He joins a group that also includes Guidry, Bob Turley, Whitey Ford, Sparky Lyle and Roger Clemens.

It was quite the year for Misiorowski as well.

After showing tremendous promise in 66 innings as a rookie in 2025, Misiorowski leveled up to reach historic heights this season. He led MLB with a 1.80 ERA, 252 strikeouts, 4.9 hits allowed per nine innings and 13.0 strikeouts per nine innings.

Misiorowski set a new MLB record for fewest hits allowed per nine innings, breaking the previous mark of 5.07 by Ferdie Schupp in 1916. He was the ace for a Milwaukee team that won an MLB-high 103 games during the regular season and put together an 11-2 record in the playoffs to win the franchise's first World Series title.

There were no shortage of historic stats from Misiorowski in 2026, including lowest batting average against (.157) and third-best WHIP (0.802) ever. He joined Pedro Martinez in 2000 and Justin Verlander in 2019 as the only pitchers with at least 250 strikeouts and a WHIP of 0.8 or lower in a season.

Misiorowski also broke the velocity barrier in ways that no pitcher has since pitch-tracking began in MLB in 2008.

The NL Cy Young was Misiorowski's to lose for most of the season, and he never gave voters a reason to strongly consider anyone else. He is the fourth Brewers pitcher to win the Cy Young, joining Rollie Fingers (1981), Pete Vuckovich (1982) and Corbin Burnes (2021).

Misiorowski is the first pitcher since Verlander in 2022 to win both a World Series title and Cy Young award in the same season.
