The 2026 finalists for the Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year Awards, the Manager of the Year Awards, the Cy Young Awards, the Relief Pitcher of the Year Awards and the Most Valuable Player Awards will be announced on Monday night at 6 p.m. ET on MLB Network. (The Relief Pitcher of the Year Awards are new for 2026.)
Jacob Misiorowski, the ace of the World Series champion Brewers, seems likely to be up for the National League Cy Young Award. In just his second big league season, the 24-year-old Miz recorded a 1.80 ERA, a 0.80 WHIP, 252 strikeouts and a .157 opponents’ batting average -- all of which were the best among qualified pitchers.
On the position-player side, Cubs dynamo Pete Crow-Armstrong should be in the running for NL MVP honors after he authored the seventh 40-homer, 40-steal season in MLB history. His defense in center field was just as spectacular, if not more so. It all contributed to PCA’s 10.6 FanGraphs WAR, the highest by an NL player since Barry Bonds’ 11.9 WAR in 2004.
The award winners will be announced during the week of Nov. 9, starting with the Rookies of the Year.
