Jacob Misiorowski has taken the baseball world by storm.
The 23-year-old, 103 MPH-throwing Righty made his MLB debut last month for Milwaukee Brewers, and he didn’t let a hit in his first 11 laps of work.
He left his first game with cramps and was then perfect through six laps in his second excursion. In total, he has allowed eight earned races (five in a game) in 25.2 laps, good for a 2.81 era.

After Matthew Boyd declared that he wouldn’t settle in the All-Star game on Tuesday, Misiorwski was tapped as a reserve for Midsummer Classic.
His five matches are the fewest someone who has played before he was named for their first all-star game.
It is undoubtedly that Misiorowski has crazy talent and a bright future, but many in the baseball world feel the place is undeserved.
Many pointed out that Philadelphia Phillie’s pitcher Christopher Sanchez was not elected. He owns a 2.59 era in 13 starts more and has never been appointed an all-star.

“Cristopher Sanchez … to be abandoned the All-Star team is a travesty. The numbers, cannot be ignored even though he is scheduled to start on Sunday. Something has to change @MLB,” wrote Sanchez’s agent, Gene Mato, on X.
“Miz has good things. But 5 games in, he’s an all-star? And Cristopher Sanchez, Ranger Suarez and Kodai Senga are all still at home? Do they use a dartboard to choose the players again?” LongTime baseball author Jon Heyman Chimede in.
However, an X user praised MLB for getting a young star in the limelight.
“MLB is criticized a lot for not marketing their young stars. So when they do, freaks out. Who doesn’t care if he only started 5 games, you have to get the child in the limelight,” Stephen Benzel wrote.
Misiorowski is still technically labeled a “view”. He must throw 50 laps or spend 45 days on the active list before September 1st to study from prospect status.

The game will be played in Atlanta on Tuesday. It was originally planned there in 2021, but was moved to Coors Field after the state’s adoption of the election integrity law of 2021, which included new voter requirements.
