Scouting Report: Andrew Misiaszek
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
Jacob Misiorowski is a 24-year-old right-handed pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers who is making history with elite velocity and strikeout production. He leads the NL in strikeouts with 59 K's in 38 innings (13.97 K/9) through early May 2026. Recently threw 10 pitches of 103+ mph against the Yankees, setting records for fastest pitches by a starting pitcher in the Statcast era (topped out at 103.6 mph). However, he has experienced two hamstring cramps in recent starts (May 1 vs Nationals and May 13 vs Padres), both handled as precautions. The Brewers are implementing an innings leash and workload management strategy due to his heavy 2025 workload (66 MLB innings plus minor league innings). Despite injury concerns, he continues to dominate opposing lineups and is on pace for franchise records.
Strengths
- Elite strikeout rate leading NL (13.97 K/9)
