Milwaukee Brewers star right-hander Jacob Misiorowski captured the National League Cy Young Award in a unanimous vote announced Wednesday by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Philadelphia’s Cristopher Sánchez finished second in the voting, while Atlanta’s Chris Sale placed third behind the dominant Brewers ace.
Misiorowski put together a stellar campaign, leading all qualified major league pitchers with a 1.80 ERA and racking up 252 strikeouts across 174 2/3 innings over 30 starts. He limited opponents to a .157/.224/.246 slash line, posted a 16-5 record, and struck out 37.9% of the batters he faced. The towering righty silenced any lingering concerns about his control by maintaining a modest 6.6% walk rate.
Sánchez secured the runner-up spot for the second consecutive year, pacing NL pitchers with an 8.1 Baseball Reference WAR while logging 207 innings and a 2.91 ERA. Sale edged close behind for third place, putting together a 2.16 ERA with 200 strikeouts over 162 2/3 innings. Yoshinobu Yamamoto finished fourth and Jesús Luzardo rounded out the top five in the balloting.
What to watch next: With five years of club control remaining, Misiorowski is positioned to anchor the Milwaukee rotation and claim his second straight Opening Day start in 2027.
