When was the last time each MLB team had a pitcher win the Cy Young Award?

After Cam Schlittler and Jacob Misiorowski became the youngest duo in over 40 years to capture the awards, here’s a look back at the last time each team had a pitcher take home the honor.

An uncertain MLB offseason is fully underway, with teams looking to negotiate with free agents ahead of what will likely be a lockout after the expiration of the current collective bargaining agreement on Dec. 1.

While that inescapable thought is on the mind of just about everybody involved in baseball, November is also a time of recapping the recently completed season, with the league’s awards being handed out throughout the last week to honor some of the best performances across MLB during the regular season.

Wednesday marked the announcement of the Cy Young Award winners, the most prestigious award for a pitcher that is given to the hurler that is viewed as the best and most valuable in their league in a particular season.

Often seen as a potent resume booster and a signifier of being one of the game’s true elite arms, winning a Cy Young Award forever etches a pitcher’s name into the history books, honoring a season full of incredible accomplishments that went unanswered from other pitchers in the league.

Although both Cam Schlittler and Jacob Misiorowski showed us plenty of what they could be in 2025, I don’t think all that many people were anticipating both pitchers to continue that brilliance through an entire season – with both pitchers ultimately coming in as unanimous winners.

The Yankees and Brewers both had winners of the award fairly recently as well, with Gerrit Cole taking home the honor for New York in 2023 while Corbin Burnes had done so for Milwaukee back in 2021.

To the surprise of perhaps no one, the Colorado Rockies remain the only team that has never had a pitcher win the Cy Young Award, with the closest call coming back in 2010 – when Ubaldo Jiménez finished third in NL Cy Young Award voting.
