The Brewers ace, fresh off a World Series title, and the Yankees' Cam Schlittler each took every first-place vote for their league's award.
Jacob Misiorowski was named the National League's Cy Young Award winner on Wednesday, capping a season in which the Milwaukee Brewers right-hander also helped his team beat the Tampa Bay Rays to win the franchise's first World Series title. Misiorowski won the award unanimously, beating out the Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez and the Braves' Chris Sale, and becomes the fourth pitcher in Brewers history to win the honor.
Across the league, New York Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler was also a unanimous pick, sweeping all 30 first-place votes for the American League Cy Young. Both pitchers made their MLB debuts in the summer of 2025, meaning this past season marked each man's first full year in the majors.
The awards, voted on by the Baseball Writers Association of America, also recognized relief pitching for the first time. Toronto's Louis Varland won the AL reliever of the year award, while San Diego's Mason Miller was a unanimous choice for the NL honor.
Misiorowski's season included a reported 1,115 pitches thrown at 100 mph or faster, setting a new standard for velocity from a starter. With the Cy Young now added to his World Series ring, he joins a short list of pitchers to win both in the same year.
