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.
