Jacob Misiorowski delivered an unforgettable 2026 MLB campaign for the Milwaukee Brewers, one that came with plenty of hardware. The only question left was how close the flamethrowing ace came to adding a National League Most Valuable Player Award to his trophy case.
On Thursday, Chicago Cubs star outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong was crowned NL MVP in a landslide. Crow-Armstrong swept all 30 first-place votes for a total of 420 points. Misiorowski placed fifth with 158 points, earning two second-place votes, seven third-place votes, five fourth-place votes, and 12 additional votes ranging from fifth through 10th place.
Notably, Misiorowski’s own teammate, infielder Brice Turang, finished ahead of him. Turang secured third place with 190 points, backed by five third-place votes, nine fourth-place votes, and nine fifth-place votes.
Two other Brewers, Jake Bauers and Jackson Chourio, also drew support in the voting after each played a pivotal role in Milwaukee’s postseason run.
Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani landed in second place with 264 points, driven largely by 26 second-place votes.
Here is a closer look at how the NL votes broke down.
Misiorowski has little reason to lose sleep over the outcome. He already owns a World Series ring and captured the NL Cy Young Award this season.

Over his remarkable 2026 run, Misiorowski posted a 16-5 record across 30 starts, compiling a 1.80 ERA, a 0.802 WHIP, and 252 strikeouts. Both his ERA and strikeout total ranked as the best in the major leagues.
