Jacob Misiorowski Sets Brewers Record with 10 Ks

0:00It's March 26, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Milwaukee Brewer's news today. Your AI-powered team report. Jacob Masierowski made a huge splash on opening day for the Milwaukee Brewer's. The 23-year-old pitcher gave up a lead-off home run to the White Sox's Chase Maedroth, but bounced back strong. He struck out the next three batters that inning and racked up 10 strikeouts by the end of the fourth. That performance set a new Brewer's franchise record for strikeouts in a season opener. The old mark was 8, first set by Ben Sheets back in 2002 and tied twice by Freddie Peralta in recent years. Masierowski's age puts him in a league company. At 23 years and 357 days old, he's the youngest pitcher with double-digit strikeouts on opening days since Felix. Hernandez fan 12 for the Mariners in 2007 at just 20. His rapid rise adds to the excitement. Last season, he dazzled in five starts to earn the earliest all-star invitation ever before a late slump.

1:01He's shown in the postseason bullpen and injuries to others this spring made him the third youngest opening day starter in team history. Brewer's manager Pat Murphy sees plenty of growth ahead. He wants Masierowski to keep maturing, harness his electric stuff, and stay relentless without excuses. With that kind of start, the future looks bright for this young Ace.
