Overview

  • Misiorowski has dominated Triple-A with a 2.13 ERA, 80 strikeouts in 63⅓ innings and a .172 opponent average.
  • His arsenal includes a fastball averaging 98 mph that has reached 103 mph this season, a heavy-spinning curveball and developing secondary pitches.
  • Command remains a concern after 60 walks in 97⅓ minor-league innings last year and a 12.3% walk rate in Triple-A.
  • Milwaukee has used 12 different starters this season while dealing with injuries, and his addition aims to bring stability to the staff.
  • His June 12 debut may leave him just short of Super Two eligibility and save Milwaukee an arbitration year, and fantasy managers are urged to weigh his elite strikeout potential against persistent control issues.
