For the first time since 2021, the Milwaukee Brewers have a Cy Young Award winner.

Jacob Misiorowski joins Corbin Burnes as the most recent Brewers pitchers to have their names etched in history.

Overall, Misiorowski is the fourth player in team history to win the Cy Young Award alongside Burnes, Pete Vuckovich (1982), and Rollie Fingers (1981).

Officially, he's the 18th unanimous winner in MLB history, with Cam Schlittler also being voted unanimously this season.  

Misiorowski received a perfect 30 first-place votes, topping the charts with 210 points. Sanchez came in second with 99 points and Sale finished just a tick behind with 98.

Even though he was up against former award winner Chris Sale and the dominant Cristopher Sánchez, it was truly never in doubt as to who the 2026 National League Cy Young Award winner was going to be.

Not only did this team win its most games in franchise history, clinch its first ever World Series championship, but plenty of postseason awards keep coming the Brewers way.

Pat Murphy was the first ever manager to three-peat as NL Manager of the Year. Brice Turang and Jackson Chourio were both named Gold Glove Award winners, and now Misiorowski joins his teammates with some extra hardware.

No pitcher in baseball was more dominant than Misiorowski, as proven with his league-leading numbers in ERA (1.80), strikeouts (252), strikeout rate (37.9 percent), WHIP (0.80), and opponents’ average (.157).

There are a million reasons as to why the 24-year-old won this year's award, as highlighted with him touching 105.5 mph in a game this year.

Throwing hard doesn't necessarily mean anything if you can't back it up, but Misiorowski did just that. His opponents' average was the lowest on record for a full season, and he has a few other accomplishments that put him in the same conversation as Justin Verlander, Pedro Martinez, Sandy Koufax, among others.

Jordan Hicks set the record with 673 pitches of 100+ mph in 2018, but Misiorowski absolutely shattered that with his 1,115.

MLB.com's Sarah Langs wrote an incredible piece on why Misiorowski's season was so special. 

In his first full year at the major league level, Misiorowski put forward some numbers that will be nearly impossible for him to top throughout his career.

By the end of his 174.2 innings, Misiorowski had recorded 252 strikeouts and allowed just 24 extra-base hits. To no surprise, that's the fewest number paired with 240+ strikeouts in MLB history.

He's thrown the 42 fastest pitches to record a strikeout by a starting pitcher in MLB history, so no matter how good Sale and Sánchez were this season, neither ever stood a chance.
