Jacob Misiorowski finished his 2026 regular season with a dominant performance against St. Louis, allowing just two hits over 5.1 scoreless innings with five strikeouts in a game that drew the Brewers' largest crowd of the year. The 24-year-old Milwaukee ace led all of baseball with a 1.80 ERA, 252 strikeouts, 0.80 WHIP, and .157 opponent batting average, setting multiple franchise records including the lowest ERA for a Brewers starting pitcher and the best WHIP in team history. While the official Cy Young Award announcement comes in over a month, Misiorowski is widely expected to win, with all 32 experts surveyed by MLB.com giving him their first-place vote, raising the possibility he could become the franchise's first unanimous Cy Young winner.
