Brewers pitching prospect Misiorowski set to make debut against Cardinals
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jacob Misiorowski, the top pitching prospect in the Milwaukee Brewers' organization, is set to make his major league debut Thursday night in the opener of a four-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Misiorowski, 23, who entered this season as the third-best prospect in the organization according to Baseball America, arrived Tuesday night from Triple-A Nashville.
The 6-foot-7 right hander went 4-2 with a 2.13 ERA in 13 games, including 12 starts. He struck out 80 in 63 1/3 innings and walked 31.
'I think it just plays into the fact that the Brewers trust me, and they think I have the strength to do it,' Misiorowski said before the Brewers game against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. 'I think I'm ready and willing to do it. So, I'm excited.'
Misiorowski was selected in the second round of the 2022 draft out of Crowder College in Neosho, Missouri.
Last season, he was a possible September call-up to bolster the bullpen, but that didn't happen. He settled into a starter's role this season at Nashville.
'I just got out there and throw whatever they ask,' Misiorowski said. 'If that's 60 pitches or 70 pitches, that's what it is. It's been exciting, and now we're here.'
The Brewers like what they saw from him during spring training and believe his future is as a key member of the starting rotation.
'It's been a topic for a month or more,' Brewers manager Pat Murphy said of the promotion. 'He's here.'
Misiorowski's fastball averages 97-98 mph and has surpassed 100 mph on occasion. A slider, curveball and changeup complement his fastball.
Coming from Blue Springs, Missouri, he followed the Cardinals.
Now, he's facing them.
'I think it's really cool to face a team I grew up watching all the time,' he said. 'So, I'm excited.'
Misiorowski will take the spot of right-hander Aaron Civale (1-2, 4.91 ERA) in the rotation.

Georgia women take the team lead at the outdoor track and field championships
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Stephanie Ratcliffe captured Georgia's first hammer throw title since 2010, and the Bulldogs took the team lead at the women's outdoor track and field championships Thursday. Ratcliffe, who also won the hammer title in 2023 while at Harvard, had a national-leading toss of 234 feet, two inches in the fourth round. Georgia leads the team standings with 26 points, followed by Illinois with 16.5 and Washington at 16. The Huskies got a boost when Hana Moll won the pole vault with a collegiate-record toss of 15-8 1/2. Moll, who also won the 2024 indoor title, broke the outdoor record held by her twin sister Amanda. Freshman Pamela Kosgei continued New Mexico's dominance in the 10,000 meters with a meet-record time of 31 minutes, 17.02 seconds. The Lobo men had a 1-2 finish on Wednesday. Mya Lesnar won the shot put with a first-round toss of 62-4 1/2 to become the first Colorado State athlete to win an outdoor event title since Loree Smith in 2005. Lesnar, the sixth Ram to win outdoor gold overall, also won the indoor shot put national title in 2024. Valentina Barrios Bornacelli secured Missouri's first individual javelin national title with a person-best throw of 203-5 to leap from fourth place to first on her final throw. Georgia freshman Manuela Rotundo finished second. Louisville's Synclair Savage took the long jump title on her final attempt with a school-record leap of 22-0.75 to move up from fourth. On the men's side, Mississippi State's Peyton Bair followed up his 2025 indoor heptathlon title with a commanding win in the decathlon, scoring a personal-best 8,323 points and winning both the 100- and 400-meter races outright. It was the 14th highest score in collegiate history. ___ AP sports:
