Misiorowski was a second-round pick of the Milwaukee Brewers back in 2022 and is projected to make his major league debut this season. Listed at 6'7", he has one of the most electric fastballs in the entire minor leagues. He's currently ranked as the No. 96 prospect in baseball, per MLB Pipeline. He's the fourth-ranked player in the Milwaukee system.

Reaching as high as Triple-A in 2024, Misiorowski went 3-5 in 33 appearances (21 starts). He was 0-1 with a 2.55 at Triple-A while he went 3-4 with a 3.50 at Double-A. The Brewers aren't sure yet how they will utilize him at the big-league level, so he's started two games and relieved one game each thus far. He's 1-0 with a 0.66 ERA in 13.2 innings.

The following comes from a portion of his MLB.com prospect profile:

As if that heat wasn’t enough, Misiorowski generates elite extension to put the ball right on batters, and his three-quarters release is low enough to give a flat approach angle, rounding out its case as an 80-grade pitch. His mid-80s curveball has distinct two-plane break to generate whiffs, and he also shows a low-90s slider that can act as sharp as a cutter. Misiorowski didn’t go much to his changeup in 2024.

The Brewers are experiencing all sorts of attrition on the mound, so Misiorowski could find himself up sooner rather than later. The one issue holding him back is the walks. He has 10 of them in those 13.2 innings.
