How Jacob Misiorowski Transcended Into One of MLB's Best Pitchers
Misiorowski’s 0.17 ERA since May 1 is the best in an eight-start stretch since 1913, MLB.com said.
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski posted a 0.17 ERA over his last eight starts, marking the best stretch for any pitcher since earned runs became an official statistic in 1913.
The 24-year-old right-hander evolved from a flawed 2025 talent into a 2026 Cy Young Award frontrunner by drastically reducing his walks to 6.7% this season.
Leading the majors with 131 strikeouts, Misiorowski utilizes a fastball that reached 104.5 mph during a 6-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies last week.
Nicknamed "The Miz," the pitcher faced the minimum 27 batters in a one-hit shutout against the Philadelphia Phillies, throwing 58 pitches at triple-digit speeds.
Heading into Friday's matchup against the Atlanta Braves, Misiorowski maintains an 8-2 record and 0.73 WHIP while having allowed just one run over his last eight starts.
