Jacob Misiorowski Strikes Out 12 In Latest Shutout
1 year agoMilwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski, a physical specimen who checks in at 6-foot-7 and 190 pounds, continues to build on an impressive season. The right-hander has ascended from Single-A to Double-A with ease, showcasing a dominant repertoire headlined by his 102 mph fastball. He has also done a fantastic job developing a mid-80s slider that breaks out of the zone and baffles hitters. Finally, the 21-year-old throws a curveball and changeup, both of which could develop into solid tertiary options. Misiorowski tossed six scoreless innings during his last outing on Aug. 12, surrendering one hit, three walks, and two hit batsmen. While his control was a little shaky, he still found his stuff for most of the game, racking up a whopping 12 strikeouts. It's safe to say that last year's second-round pick has already developed into one of baseball's top pitching prospects.
