Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski carried an ideal recreation bid into the seventh inning in his second profession begin Friday towards the Minnesota Twins (GameTracker). Misiorowski, who threw 5 no-hit innings in his first begin, subsequently walked the leadoff hitter earlier than permitting a two-run residence run to Matt Walner to sprint the no-hit bid and the shutout in a single fast swoop.
In flip, Misiorowski accomplished a “hidden” no-hitter however fell shy of the longest no-hit streak to start an MLB profession since Kansas City Royals lefty delivered 11 ⅔ hit-free innings to begin his big-league journey in 2023. He did, nevertheless, report the longest no-hit streak by a starter to start their profession since not less than 1900, according to the Brewers’ communications department’s research.
On the night time, Misiorowski allowed two runs on a stroll and a success. He struck out six of the 20 batters he confronted on 86 pitches. He generated 9 swinging strikes and 29 pitches at 100 mph or sooner. Had he discovered a strategy to end the right recreation, he would’ve grow to be the third youngest pitcher in MLB historical past to notch one, in line with CBS Sports activities’ Max Gorenstein:
- John Montgomery Ward, 1880, 20 years and 105 days
- Catfish Hunter, 1968, 22 years and 30 days
- Jacob Misiorowski, 2025, 23 years and 78 days
Alas, it wasn’t to be.
Misiorowski is an interesting prospect. He is averaged almost 13 strikeouts per 9 innings as knowledgeable because of an excellent arsenal (one pitch-quality mannequin graded all 5 of his pitches as above-average) and a misleading low-slot launch. Sadly, his ascent has been slowed by a pesky little flaw: his well-below-average command. Misiorowski has handed out almost six free passes per 9, calling into query his probabilities of lasting as a big-league starter. If the Brewers might help him tighten his deal with, he has impact-starter upside; after all, if it have been that easy, it might already be achieved. As such, Misiorowski appears extra more likely to land in a high-leverage aid position. We’ll give him one other yr to keep away from that designation.
Clearly Misiorowski is delivering on that lofty promise by means of his first two begins.
