NEW YORK -- Jacob Misiorowski won the National League Cy Young Award on Wednesday after helping the Milwaukee Brewers win their first World Series title while setting a new standard for velocity by a starting pitcher.
New York Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler was the unanimous choice to win the American League Cy Young Award. The Baseball Writers Association of America votes on the awards.
Schlittler, 25, went 14-6 with an AL-leading 1.95 ERA that ranked third in Yankees' history, behind Spud Chandler (1.64 in 1943) and Ron Guidry (1.74 in 1978). Schlittler's 239 strikeouts tied for second in the AL with Toronto's Dylan Cease, behind the 248 from Cleveland's Gavin Williams.
Misiorowski becomes the fourth Brewer to win the honor. The others were Rollie Fingers (1981), Pete Vuckovich (1982) and Corbin Burnes (2021). Fingers also won the MVP award in 1981.
Toronto's Louis Varland won the AL reliever of the year award. San Diego's Mason Miller won the award in the NL.
