Jacob Misiorowski Wins NL Cy Young Award
The Baseball Writers Association of America announced Wednesday that Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski won the NL Cy Young award. Philadelphia’s Cristopher Sánchez and Atlanta’s Chris Sale finished second and third, respectively.
Misiorowski, like his AL counterpart Cam Schlittler, won the award unanimously. There wasn’t much intrigue beyond that in either league, as it’s been clear for months who’d take home the hardware. Misiorowski had the lowest earned run average (1.80) of any qualified pitcher in baseball. He threw 174 2/3 innings across 30 starts, overpowering hitters with unprecedented velocity for a starter and huge extension on his 6’7″ frame.
