Overview
- Jacob Misiorowski has recorded a 2.13 ERA and 80 strikeouts over 63.1 innings in Triple-A Nashville this season.
- The 23-year-old right-hander’s fastball has topped out at 103 mph and averages 97.7 mph entering his first major league start.
- Milwaukee has already turned to a dozen different starters after injuries sidelined Brandon Woodruff, Robert Gasser and Nestor Cortes.
- His promotion in mid-June may leave him just short of Super 2 status, potentially saving the Brewers an arbitration year.
- Persistent control issues have produced a minor-league walk rate above 12 percent, fueling debate over his long-term role.
