NL Cy Young Race Tightens with Five Contenders, Wild Play Highlights
Five pitchers are currently shaping the National League Cy Young race in the 2026 MLB season: Gerrit Cole, Max Scherzer, Walker Buehler, Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery. Cole leads with a 2.
45 ERA and 15 wins, while Snell has added 20 strikeouts over his last two outings. In the most recent game, Seattle’s shortstop made a wild defensive error that resulted in a run scoring on a misplayed ball.
Analysts are debating whether the incident could influence the pitchers’ momentum as the season progresses.
