Overview
- The BBWAA announced Sánchez as an NL Cy Young finalist on Nov. 3, joining Jacob Misiorowski of the Brewers and Chris Sale of the Braves.
- Sánchez finished the 2026 regular season with 33 starts, an 18-7 record, a 2.91 ERA, 231 strikeouts, and an 8.1 Baseball-Reference WAR.
- His season included a 50 2/3-inning scoreless stretch from April 30 to June 3 and a league-leading total of 18 wins tied with Boston’s Sonny Gray.
- Thirty BBWAA voters cast ballots before the postseason, so playoff results will not affect the outcome and MLB Network will name the winner on Nov. 11.
- If Sánchez wins he would be the Phillies’ first Cy Young winner since Roy Halladay in 2010 and the result would break a recent run of Phillies pitchers finishing second.
