Fox News and CBS Sports reported that this is the first time since 2022 that pitchers in both leagues won the award unanimously. CBS Sports added that the two 25-and-under pitchers are the first pair to post a 200 ERA+ together since Christy Mathewson and Ed Reulbach accomplished the feat in 1905. Fox News noted that Misiorowski is the first pitcher since Randy Johnson to win both the Cy Young Award and the World Series in the same season. [1][2]

In the National League voting, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cristopher Sánchez placed second, while Atlanta Braves starter Chris Sale finished third, Fox News and CBS Sports reported. In the American League, Schlittler defeated Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Dylan Cease and Cleveland Guardians rookie Parker Messick, according to CBS Sports and the New York Post. The victory marked Schlittler's first Cy Young Award and the seventh in the history of the Yankees franchise, the New York Post reported. [1][3][5][6]

Misiorowski made his Major League Baseball debut and his first All-Star appearance in 2025. In 2026, he set the record for the fastest pitch by a starter since tracking began in 2008, and he became the first pitcher in history to throw 1,000 pitches at 100 miles per hour or faster in a single season. As FTMQ News reported earlier, he previously started for the Brewers during their 2026 postseason run. [12][15][16]

Schlittler was selected by the Yankees in the seventh round of the 2022 draft after playing college baseball for the Northeastern Huskies. He made his debut in 2025 and earned his first All-Star selection in 2026. Schlittler called the award a special moment for himself and his family, the New York Post reported. [3][13]
