Can anyone catch The Miz in NL Cy Young race?, tell me about this news in (https://www.mlb.com/news/breaking-down-the-2026-national-league-cy-young-race)

Here is a breakdown of the report from MLB.com regarding the 2026 National League Cy Young race:Summary of the RaceThe article discusses whether any pitcher can catch Milwaukee Brewers phenom Jacob Misiorowski (nicknamed “The Miz”) for the NL Cy Young Award down the final stretch of the 2026 regular season. While Misiorowski has been the frontrunner for most of the year, a couple of recent shaky outings combined with dominant surges from his competitors have made the race tighter than expected.The Frontrunner: Jacob Misiorowski (“The Miz”), Milwaukee Brewers

• Key Numbers: 161.1 IP, 1.95 ERA (1st in NL), 236 K (1st in MLB), 0.80 WHIP (1st in NL), 6.0 fWAR.
• Why He Is in the Lead: He has had a historic season on the mound, highlighted by throwing over 1,000 pitches at 100+ mph (shattering previous single-season pitch-tracking records). He currently leads the league in ERA, strikeouts, and WHIP, giving him a strong triple-crown profile.
• Potential Obstacles: He has logged fewer innings than some of his top competitors, and because the Brewers have a comfortable lead in the NL Central, they may limit his workload late in the season to keep him fresh for the postseason. He also showed minor vulnerability in August and early September.

The Top Challengers

1. Chris Sale, Atlanta Braves
   • Key Numbers: 150.0 IP, 2.10 ERA (2nd in NL), 184 K, 1.01 WHIP, 5.4 fWAR.
   • The Case: At age 37, Sale is pitching some of the best baseball of his career, posting a 1.90 ERA in his last eight starts (including an 11-strikeout complete-game shutout against the Dodgers). He is Misiorowski’s closest threat in ERA and WHIP and has crucial, high-leverage starts down the stretch in the tight NL East race.
2. Jesús Luzardo, Philadelphia Phillies
   • Key Numbers: 178.2 IP (3rd in NL), 2.87 ERA, 221 K (2nd in NL), 1.08 WHIP, 5.5 fWAR / 6.3 bWAR.
   • The Case: Luzardo has been on a dominant run in the second half of the season (1.84 ERA post-All-Star break) and recently spun a 12-strikeout shutout against Atlanta. He holds a significant lead over Misiorowski in innings pitched and has almost matched his strikeout pace since May.
3. Cristopher Sánchez, Philadelphia Phillies
   • Key Numbers: 187.1 IP (2nd in NL), 2.79 ERA, 210 K, 5.9 fWAR / 7.5 bWAR (1st in NL).
   • The Case: Sánchez has been a durable workhorse for Philadelphia. He leads the entire National League in Baseball-Reference WAR (bWAR) and trails Misiorowski by only 0.1 in FanGraphs WAR. His massive innings advantage and advanced metrics make him a strong contender if Misiorowski stumbles in his final starts.

ConclusionMisiorowski still firmly controls his own destiny. If he maintains his leads in ERA, strikeouts, and WHIP through his final few outings, he will almost certainly take home the award. However, if Milwaukee manages his pitch count or if he falters, Sale, Luzardo, or Sánchez could make it a very tough vote for the BBWAA.
