Jacob Misiorowski's Blazing Fastball

It's May 1st, from the locker room to your ears.

This is Milwaukee Brewers News Today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story.

Jacob Misiorowski is lighting up the mound for the Brewers at just 24 years old, standing

6'7 with a fastball averaging, 99.1 mph.

That's 99th percentile stuff among all pictures, and it's not even his top end.

He treats triple digits like warm-ups.

The sets him apart is doing this as a starter, not a reliever who just fires one inning.

He's logged 32 and 2 thirds innings over 6 starts, averaging more than 5 innings each

time, without his velocity dipping off.

Across the league, folks are buzzing because Misiorowski leads all starters with 109 pitches

at 100 mph, or better this.

Season The next closest, Bubba Chandler of the Pirates, has just

36, even with his own elite 98.6 average.

Dig into his numbers, and it's a 3.31 ERA with 51 strikeouts already, showing he's

not just heat, but effective too.

He turned 24 back on April 3rd, so this is early days for a guy with tools you can't

coach.

With Brandon Woodruff exiting his start early, the Brewers need arms like this, and if

they keep Misiorowski healthy, he's primed to anchor that.

Rotation for years.
