Jacob Misiorowski was named the National League Cy Young Award winner on Wednesday night.
By the time the Milwaukee Brewers won the World Series, it was pretty much a given that Misiorowski would win the Cy Young Award in the coming weeks. He was named the unanimous Cy Young Award winner, and the scary part is that he did so in just his second season.
At just 24 years old, Misiorowski is a two-time All-Star, World Series champion, ERA champion and Cy Young Award winner. What's next for him after winning the Fall Classic and the Cy Young Award in his sophomore season?
"Do it all again," Misiorowski said after claiming his award.
Before the Brewers put an end to the Los Angeles Dodgers' reign, they had won back-to-back championships. It was only the 15th time a team had won back-to-back World Series, so it will not be easy for the Brewers to repeat as champions.
As for his goal to win the Cy Young Award again, it will be even rarer. Only 12 times has a pitcher won the Cy Young Award in back-to-back seasons, with Tarik Skubal being the last, winning it in 2024 and 2025.
Misiorowski has high expectations of himself and his team, and it's hard not to. He is redefining what a starting pitcher can do in terms of velocity, and his team is full of young stars who are only getting better and are expected to be with the team for years to come.
