Misiorowski: Brewers' Cy Young Contender

0:00On April 16th, the Milwaukee Brewers made waves trading Freddie Peralta this off-season, figuring his contract in soon and resigning him was a long shot. That left their starting rotation paper thin, especially with Brandon Woodruff sidelined by injury, forcing them to lean on unproven kids straight out. The minors? But one dude's rising fast through the pack. Jacob Missyorowski, the Brewers' righty whose turning heads leak wide. The athletics Eno Saras just dropped a fresh ranking of baseball's top pitchers, sliding Missyorowski at number 25 overall, ahead of Vets. Like Nathan Yolvaldi in Jose Soriano, Saras calls him a legit, national league-sci-young contender down the line, praising his nasty stuff in growth. This season, over 21 and two-thirds innings, he's averaging 98.7 on the foreseamer, striking out 37.5. Percent of batters and trimming his walk rate to 10 percent from 11 last year.

1:01That mid-90 sliders his money pitch, hitting upper 90s at times, and he's dialing in command way better, no more feet wide misses. If Missyorowski keeps sharpening that edge, he's primed to ace the rotation and chase side-young hardware in the next couple years, flipping the Brewers. Gamble into gold.
