The 'NL Cy Young-winners' quiz

For the 2026 Milwaukee Brewers, the hardware just keeps coming. 

After winning the first World Series in franchise history, Milwaukee’s ace Jacob Misiorowski was  unanimously named the National League Cy Young winner. “The Miz” led the major leagues in ERA (1.80) and strikeouts (252) while racking up 174 2/3-innings in his 30 starts. 

While Misiorowski didn’t give Milwaukee the same length or strikeout rate in their championship run as he did in the regular season, he still posted a sub-2.00 ERA in 19 innings across four starts.

Paired with Cam Schlittler in the American League, the duo became the third set of unanimous Cy Young-winners in MLB history, joining Justin Verlander and Sandy Alcantara in 2022 and Denny McLain and Bob Gibson in 1968. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Misiorowski is the first Brewer to win the Cy Young since 2021 and just the second since they joined the National League in 1998. With that being said, how many of the players to win the National League Cy Young can you name in eight minutes?

Good luck!
