While the 2026 National League MVP was a unanimous selection, a pair of Milwaukee Brewers finished in the top five.

To no surprise, Pete Crow-Armstrong edged out both Shohei Ohtani and Brice Turang to become a first-time winner.

Turang ended in third with 190 points, and surprisingly, Jacob Misiorowski, who wasn't even a finalist, had more second-place votes than Turang.

Misiorowski took home the NL Cy Young Award roughly 24 hours ago, and one day later he ended in fifth place on the NL MVP ballot with 158 points.

Turang received just one second place vote while Misiorowski had two. From there, Turang had five third-place votes, nine for both fourth and fifth place, and then two votes for sixth through eighth place.

In terms of Misiorowski, the flamethrower had two second-place votes, six for third place, five for fourth, one fifth, six sixth-place votes, two seventh, one eighth, and a pair of 10th-place votes.

One of the major differences with MVP voting is the fact that voters are asked to extend votes to 10 players instead of the usual five.

With the expanded ballot, that allowed for both Jake Bauers and Jackson Chourio to receive votes.

Bauers had a pair of 10th place votes come his way, and then Chourio joined him with two points in the polls as he had a ninth place vote.

Alec Burleson joined the Brewers sluggers as officially they were tied for 23rd in the ballot. Obviously, neither Bauers nor Chourio was anywhere close to winning, but the fact that they even received votes in the first place is incredible, especially for Chourio who is just 22 years old.

It was a bit surprising to see 2026 All-MLB First Team honoree Turang be named a finalist alongside Ohtani and PCA. Those are two of the best players not just in the NL, but in the entire league.

Turang didn't seem to have much of a chance to win, but his 190 points proved that he deserved to be in the conversation.

Turang was one of five players with 100+ points, and while he wasn't necessarily the closest to Ohtani's 264 or Crow-Armstrong's 420, he still led the way for this Brewers team.

Misiorowski finished 15 points shy of Elly De La Cruz, who earned a fourth-place finish despite not having a single second-place vote.
