What a debut, and what a follow-up! Jacob Misiorowski is the Milwaukee Brewers’ rookie pitcher who just walked out of a sports movie and into the big leagues. In just over a week, the 6-foot-7 flamethrower went from making his MLB debut to flirting with perfection and breaking a record on a Friday night against the Minnesota Twins.
From No-Hitter to Near-Perfect Record
Misiorowski’s first taste of MLB action came against the Cardinals, and he didn’t just dip his toe in—he cannonballed. Five innings and zero hits. Just four walks, five strikeouts, and enough zip on his fastball to short-circuit a radar gun.
But then came Friday. And this night was something else. He didn’t just bring the heat—he brought history with him. Pitch after pitch, inning after inning, Misiorowski was perfect. Perfect through six. Not a single base runner. Fans on both sides of the rivalry were starting to buzz. Could he do it? A perfect game in just his second start?
The Dream Ends, But the Applause Echoes
Well, the baseball gods had other plans. In the seventh inning, he issued a walk—and not long after, the dream took a hit. Literally, a two-run homer erased the zero on his ERA, and just like that, Misiorowski’s night was done.
He walked off the field to a standing ovation, Brewers fans roaring loud enough to drown out any disappointment. That moment—leaving the mound, head held high, fans on their feet—might’ve said more about his future than any stat ever could.
One for the History Books
Through two starts, Misiorowski has more wins than hits allowed. That’s not just rare—it’s historic. Literally the first pitcher since 1900 to start his career with 11 hitless innings. That’s not a hot streak; that’s a flashbulb moment.
And look—we’re not talking about some crafty soft-tosser finding ways to sneak by. No. This guy is lighting up the gun at 102 mph. He’s built like a skyscraper with a slider that might as well be illegal. If you’re a Brewers fan, you’re not just excited—you’re dreaming big.
Jacob Misiorowski might be just two games into his career, but he’s already rewriting the script. And something tells me this is only the first act.
