Jacob Misiorowski makes impressive case for NL Cy Young award

Jacob Misiorowski of the Milwaukee Brewers is contending for the National League Cy Young award in 2026. Through 14 starts, he has posted a remarkable 1.34 ERA and 0.74 WHIP, totaling 131 strikeouts in 87 innings. Misiorowski recently achieved a historic Maddux by throwing a shutout on fewer than 100 pitches, striking out 15 Philadelphia Phillies while facing the minimum number of batters. The competition for the award includes Shohei Ohtani and Cristopher Sánchez, both of whom have also delivered outstanding performances. With injuries affecting Ohtani, Misiorowski's trajectory in the Cy Young race remains a focal point as the season progresses.
