The 2026 season has wrapped, and the debrief is officially here. We’re handing out the hardware to the players who made this year a vibe. While we’re keeping it to 35 awards this time around—because honestly, nobody needs a 40-award marathon—these picks are the real deal.
The Big Winners
If you’re looking for the heavy hitters, here is who took home the crown for the major league awards:
- AL MVP: Yordan Alvarez, OF, HOU
- NL MVP: Pete Crow-Armstrong, OF, CHC
- AL Cy Young: Cam Schlittler, SP, NYY
- NL Cy Young: Jacob Misiorowski, SP, MIL
- AL Rookie of the Year: Kevin McGonigle, 3B/SS, DET
- NL Rookie of the Year: Sal Stewart, 1B/3B, CIN
These players were main characters all season, and their stats are the receipts to prove it. From league-wide dominance to total breakout performances, they basically carried our fantasy squads.
Why it matters
The 2026 season is over, and it's time to prep for the future. Recognizing who actually delivered gives you the best intel for next year's drafts, because highkey, knowing which prospects and vets are currently peaking is how you secure that W next season.
