Yankees' Cam Schlittler Wins AL Cy Young 2026 Awards, Full Voting Results

New York Yankees ace Cam Schlittler's breakout 2026 season earned him the American League Cy Young award.

Schlittler finished ahead of fellow finalists Dylan Cease and Parker Messick to receive the award on Wednesday.

A midseason call-up in 2025, Schlittler flashed ace potential as a rookie 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.
