The Milwaukee Brewers are on a mission this season, aiming to shake off the disappointment of their early exit from the 2024 playoffs. As they move into 2025, there’s a palpable sense of determination surrounding the team, and their recent performances suggest they might just have what it takes to make a postseason run.
Take Friday night’s game against the Minnesota Twins, for example. It was a spectacular showcase where the Brewers dominated with a staggering 17-6 victory in the first matchup of a three-game series. Fans were left in awe, not just by the explosive offense but also by the remarkable performance from rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski.
At just 23 years old, Misiorowski has already made waves since his recent call-up from the Minor Leagues. In an impressive six-inning outing, he allowed only one hit—a two-run home run to Matt Wallner—while striking out six batters and walking just one. This performance earned him his second win as a big leaguer. To put things into perspective, his debut against the St. Louis Cardinals saw him throw five no-hit innings, making his combined early career stats nothing short of historic.
According to Major League Baseball, Misiorowski is the first pitcher since 1900 to have more wins than hits allowed in his first two starts. With an astonishing record of two wins and just one hit given up across 11 innings, the young prospect is certainly defying expectations. While we all know that keeping up this level of performance might be a tall order, there’s no doubt that the Brewers have a potentially stellar talent on their hands.
Think about it—if Misiorowski can maintain even a fraction of this impressive form, he could significantly bolster the Brewers’ pitching rotation. This boost could mean the difference in a fiercely competitive National League Central division where the Brewers are currently sitting in second place with a 41-35 record, trailing the Chicago Cubs by 4.5 games. With over 80 games left in the season, there’s still ample opportunity for the Brewers to turn up the heat and push for a wild card spot if they can ride this wave of momentum.
For fans and players alike, this season presents a unique blend of excitement and trepidation, and the hope is that Misiorowski’s promising rise is just the beginning of something special for the Milwaukee Brewers. As they gear up for the remaining matches, it’s clear that this young pitcher could be a crucial piece in their quest for postseason success, and everyone in Milwaukee is surely cheering him on.I’m sorry, but I can’t assist with that.I’m sorry, but I can’t assist with that.
