One day after Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy was acknowledged with an unprecedented third straight National League manager of the year award, his prized right-hander seems likely for his own moment in the sun Wednesday, Nov. 11.

The awards for both the National League and American League Cy Young Awards will be announced at 6 p.m. CT on the MLB Network. They’re given by the Baseball Writers Association of America, and Brewers standout Jacob Misiorowski will be a strong candidate to hear his name called.

Misiorowski is one of three finalists for the National League honor, along with Atlanta’s Chris Sale and Philadelphia’s Cristopher Sánchez. At -10,000, Misiorowski is far and away the favorite to win the award, according to BetMGM.

Misiorowski, of course, led the league in numerous categories, including his 1.80 ERA and 0.802 WHIP (among qualified starters) and 252 strikeouts. That’s in addition to his astounding velocities and posting a 1.89 ERA in the postseason, including nearly six shutout innings in the title-clinching World Series Game 5.

It’s a busy day on the awards calendar, and more than Misiorowski could walk away with hardware. The night also serves as the announcement of the first BBWAA Reliever of the Year award – Trevor Megill is a finalist – and the announcement of the All-MLB awards, which could also include a Brewer or two – namely second baseman Brice Turang.

We already know the recipients of the annual Gold Gloves, with Turang and left fielder Jackson Chourio winning the prestigious defense award from Rawlings. It’s Turang’s second Gold Glove and Chourio’s first. The rookie of the year and manager of the year awards have also been announced, with Murphy winning an unprecedented third consecutive year in the NL.

Nov. 11: Cy Young, Relief Pitcher of the Year, All-MLB teams

Misiorowski would join Rollie Fingers (1981), Pete Vuckovich (1982) and Corbin Burnes (2021) as past Brewers winners. The top relief pitcher, also selected by the baseball writers in a new addition to the awards list, will also be announced, and San Diego’s Mason Miller is the heavy favorite there.

The first and second All-MLB teams will be unveiled as well, with a pick at each position (including three outfielders and a designated hitter) with five starters and two relievers. Candidates from Milwaukee include Turang, William Contreras, Jake Bauers and Misiorowski. Turang was a second-team pick last year.

The All-MLB teams will be unveiled as part of the MLB Awards ceremony from Las Vegas, beginning at 8 p.m. CT. These awards are presented by MLB and separate from the BBWAA awards (which have traditionally included rookie of the year, manager of the year, Cy Young and most valuable player, and now also feature a reliever of the year).

Jackson Chourio and William Contreras are among the players expected to attend the ceremony. Other awards given out are the Hank Aaron Award for best offensive player in each league, the Comeback Player of the Year award, the Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman Awards acknowledging best relief pitcher in each league (yes, there are two different relief-pitcher awards handed out Wednesday), the Edgar Martinez Award for outstanding designated hitter and the All-MLB plaudits. Plus: the Sage Executive of the Year, the Capital One Premier Play of the Year, the Flow Mayor Award for “entertainer of the year.”

Team Venezuela will also get acknowledged for winning the World Baseball Classic before the start of the season, hence the presence of Chourio and Contreras.

Brewers general manager Matt Arnold has won the executive of the year honor the past two seasons.

Jacob Misiorowski highlights: Best of Brewers All-Star pitcher in 2026

Jacob Misiorowski followed his impressive rookie campaign with a dominant second year for the Milwaukee Brewers in one of the greatest pitching seasons in team history.

The 24-year-old finished the season as the MLB leader in ERA (1.80), WHIP (0.80), strikeouts (252) and opponent batting average (.157). He’s also set the record multiple times for fastest pitch ever for a starting pitcher.

It earned him his second All-Star Game appearance and he’s the favorite to win the 2026 NL Cy Young Award.

Why is the award for top pitcher called ‘Cy Young’?

The award is named for Denton “Cy” Young, who pitched at the turn of the century primarily for franchises from Boston and Cleveland. He led Major League Baseball in wins five times, with a career mark of 511 that far and away stands as the best ever. He also authored a perfect game and won what’s regarded as the inaugural World Series with the Boston Americans (later the Red Sox) in 1903.

Brice Turang highlights 2026 season, Mother’s Day home run and more

Brice Turang’s dramatic, ninth-inning walk-off home run on Mother’s Day to give the Brewers a 4-3 win over the New York Yankees was one of the top moments from the season.

It was one of Turang’s career-high 19 home runs so far in 2026.

Nov. 12: MVP

The most valuable player, as selected by the baseball writers, will get announced for each league Thursday. Turang is one of three NL finalists, with the Chicago Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani. It’s probably fairly safe to deduce that Turang will finish third in that vote, but he’d still be the first Brewers top-three finisher in the voting since Christian Yelich took second in 2019. Yelich took 12th and Turang 14th in last year’s voting.

Nov. 17: Silver Sluggers

The best offensive player at each position in each league will earn the distinction presented by Louisville Slugger. The Brewers didn’t have any recipients last year, but Brewers finalists this year are Turang at second base, Bauers at first base and Chourio in the outfield. Contreras, who isn’t a finalist this year (with just two nominees for NL catcher) won the award in 2023 and 2024.
