Jacob Misiorowski is the National League's Cy Young Award winner after the Milwaukee Brewers ace was finally announced as the 2026 winner on Wednesday.

Coming off a sensational second season in the big leagues, Misiorowski got another reason to celebrate in the offseason. In addition to the World Series title he won with the Brewers by beating the Tampa Bay Rays in this year's edition of the Fall Classic, the hard-throwing Misiorowski is now the fourth Brewer in franchise history to win the Cy Young.

But there's more.

Because Jacob Misiorowski won a World Series and a Cy Young Award in the same year, he also joined an extremely exclusive group of pitchers in MLB history.

“The Miz has won the NL Cy Young. Jacob Misiorowski joins Randy Johnson and Justin Verlander as the only pitchers since 2000 to win both the Cy Young and the World Series in the same season,” SportsCenter shared via a social media post on X (formerly Twitter).

Misiorowski put on a masterclass on nearly every night he pitched in 2026. Through 30 starts, he went 16-5. His ERA (1.80), total strikeouts (252) and WHIP (0.802) were all the best not just in the National League but in both leagues.

Still just 24 years old, Misiorowski has so much in front of him, even though he's already accomplished what countless others never achieved in their entire baseball careers.

As long as he's healthy, Misiorowski should be an intimidating pitcher to deal with opposing batters in years to come, including in 2027, when the Brewers look to defend their crown.
