Sources -- Brewers to call up hard-throwing righty Jacob Misiorowski - ESPN

The Milwaukee Brewers are calling up right-hander Jacob Misiorowski, one of the hardest-throwing pitchers in baseball and among the best pitching prospects in the major leagues, sources told ESPN.

Misiorowski, 23, has dominated Triple-A this season, posting 2.13 ERA over 63⅓ innings with 80 strikeouts and a .172 batting average against.

He is expected to join the Brewers' rotation on Thursday, according to sources.

At 35-32 and in third place in the National League Central, the injury-besieged Brewers have cycled through a dozen starting pitchers already this season. While ace Freddy Peralta has been his normal excellent self and rookie Chad Patrick a revelation, Milwaukee has managed to cobble together solid starting pitching.

Misiorowski's promotion adds a starter with a fastball that averages 98 mph, a heavy-spinning curveball that regularly induces strikeouts and lesser-used slider, cutter and sinker. Since being drafted in 2022, Misiorowski has thrown 233⅔ innings, struck out 320 and walked 140. Keeping the ball in the park will be paramount as Misiorowski ascends to the major leagues.
