Who else were you going to pick?
The most dominant starting pitchers in Major League Baseball's 2026 season, Jacob Misiorowski (Milwaukee Brewers) and Cam Schlittler (New York Yankees) both won the Cy Young Award in their respective leagues Wednesday, with each winning in unanimous fashion.
The top starting pitcher for the New York Yankees, Schlittler won the AL Cy Young unanimously with all 30 first-place votes, and interestingly, the feat also came in his first full season in MLB. Dylan Cease (Toronto Blue Jays) and Parker Messick (Cleveland Guardians) came in second and third place.
The Baseball Writers' Association of America also gave out their inaugural Reliever of the Year award, with Louis Varland (Toronto Blue Jays) winning in the AL and Mason Miller (San Diego Padres) taking the NL's award.
Standing tall on the mound with elite stuff that completely overmatched hitters all year long, Jacob Misiorowski proved that video-game-esque upside can translate instantly into high-IQ dominance when harnessed correctly — absolutely brilliant season from "The Miz."
Over in the American League, Cam Schlittler stepping into the Bronx pressure cooker and emerging with a unanimous AL Cy Young is arguably even more cinematic. Pitching under the microscope of Yankee Stadium usually eats young arms alive. Instead, Schlittler carved up AL lineups with a pristine 1.95 ERA that left veterans chasing ghosts all summer.
Of course, these guys won unanimously ... like I said, who else were you going to pick?
