Brewers' Misiorowski Makes MLB Debut vs Cardinals

Jacob Misiorowski, a 23-year-old 6-foot-7 right-handed pitcher known for his electric fastball that can reach 103 mph, is set to make his MLB debut for the Milwaukee Brewers against the St. Louis Cardinals. Misiorowski was promoted from Triple-A Nashville after posting a 2.13 ERA and striking out 80 batters in 63.1 innings, despite some control challenges evidenced by a high walk rate in the minors. Brewers fans are eager to see his potential as he joins a team that is competitive in the NL Central, with the Cardinals closely trailing in the standings. Analysts highlight his impressive arsenal, including a fastball, slider, curveball, and new changeup, but caution that his command issues may persist initially in the majors. Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy expressed confidence in Misiorowski’s readiness, and the pitcher himself conveyed excitement about the opportunity. This debut is particularly significant as it comes during a crucial four-game series between division rivals.
