Turang, the Gold Glove second baseman, was named MVP for a second straight year by the local chapter after he finished 2026 with 21 homers, 100 RBIs, 19 steals and a .268 batting average. He finished second in the National League with 37 doubles and is one of the top three finishers in the National League MVP vote.
Misiorowski was named Brewers Most Valuable Pitcher, a unanimous vote after he went 16-5 with a 1.80 ERA in 30 starts with a league-leading 252 strikeouts and 0.80 WHIP among qualified starters. He also led the NL in opponent batting average (.157), strikeout percentage (37.9) and hits per nine innings (4.95), making him the frontrunner for the NL Cy Young award. Misiorowski made four postseason starts, posting a 1.89 ERA and working 5â…” shutout innings in the World Series-clinching Game 5 win.
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.
