Overview
- Misiorowski has emerged as one of baseball’s best starters this season, leading the majors in strikeouts and posting an 8-2 record with a 1.34 ERA through mid‑June.
- He set starter-era velocity marks by touching 104.5 mph and throwing a record number of 100+ mph pitches for a starter, changing how hitters perceive his fastball.
- His June 12 outing produced a one‑hit complete-game shutout with 15 strikeouts on only 95 pitches, a performance widely hailed as one of the season’s best starts.
- Following that run, Misiorowski took the loss to the Atlanta Braves on June 19 when Mauricio Dubón broke a sixth‑inning tie with a two‑run single, ending a long streak of one‑run or scoreless outings.
- Teams and analysts now track his workload and repeatable mechanics closely because the Brewers depend on him and Kyle Harrison to cover an injury‑depleted rotation and sustain the club’s NL Central lead.
