Brewers’ Misiorowski Opens Career With 11 No-Hit Innings, a Modern Era First

The towering rookie’s 102 mph fastball coupled with improved command has earned him two wins with a lone hit allowed, prompting a veteran to seek a trade from Milwaukee’s reshuffled rotation.

Jacob Misiorowski threw all eight of the fastest pitches at the 2022 MLB Draft Combine workout.
Before Jacob Misiorowski, no starter in the modern era had ever given up no hits in each of their first 11 innings in the majors.

Overview

  • Misiorowski delivered five hitless innings in his MLB debut against the Cardinals on June 12 before exiting with a sprained ankle and cramping.
  • In his second start at Target Field on June 20, he retired the first 18 Twins batters before walking Byron Buxton and yielding a Matt Wallner home run in the seventh, ending his no-hit streak at 11 innings.
  • His fastball topped out at 102.1 mph and he mixed in a slider, curveball and changeup to strike out six Twins.
  • According to OptaSTATS, he is the only modern-era starter with more wins (two) than hits allowed (one) through his first two career starts.
  • His emergence prompted Milwaukee to move veteran Aaron Civale to the bullpen, after which Civale requested a trade.
