Overview
- The Brewers’ Jacob Misiorowski allowed two runs over six innings in Atlanta on Friday and took the loss as the Braves beat Milwaukee 3-2.
- He still leads Major League Baseball in strikeouts with 131 and ranks among the leaders in ERA and WHIP despite his ERA rising after the start.
- Earlier this month Misiorowski threw a one‑hit complete game with 15 strikeouts on June 12 and produced a 0.17 ERA across an eight‑start span that MLB.com said was the lowest such stretch since earned runs were tracked in 1913.
- Statcast data show Misiorowski has set pitch‑tracking era marks for starter velocity — averaging about 100.1 mph on his fastball and topping out above 104 mph — and has thrown more 100+ mph pitches this season than any starter on record.
- His emergence has steadied an injury‑hit Brewers rotation and pushed him to frontrunner status for the NL Cy Young, with betting markets and analysts now watching his workload and durability as key factors for Milwaukee’s division push.
