Overview
- The Baseball Writers' Association of America voted Wednesday night to give Jacob Misiorowski the National League Cy Young and Cam Schlittler the American League Cy Young, with each pitcher receiving all 30 first‑place votes.
- Misiorowski, 24, led all of MLB with a 1.80 ERA, 252 strikeouts and a .157 opponents' batting average while averaging triple‑digit velocity and then started and won the World Series‑clinching game for the Brewers.
- Schlittler, 25, posted a 1.95 ERA with 239 strikeouts in his first full season, delivering the lowest AL ERA since 2022 and anchoring a Yankees staff that leaned on his consistency through long stretches of the year.
- The BBWAA also announced its inaugural Reliever of the Year winners Wednesday, naming Louis Varland for the AL and Mason Miller for the NL as the association expands its awards slate.
- The dual unanimous outcome is rare historically and strengthens both pitchers' profiles heading into offseason planning for contract talks, roster construction and how the Brewers and Yankees build around potential long‑term aces.
