In a battle of top stuff, Jacob Misiorowski and Paul Skenes offer contrasting styles
It wasn't just the results that were different on Wednesday afternoon, when Jacob Misiorowski led the Milwaukee Brewers to victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates with five scoreless innings while Paul Skenes had one of the worst starts of his career, going only four innings and giving up four runs. It was a display of two totally different pitching styles. Advertisement While both pitchers showed top-shelf velocity, the slender Misiorowski's fastball sat 99.5 mph, a full tick ahead of Skenes' heater. He also had the benefit of elite extension. Misiorowski releases the ball 7.7 feet off the rubber, more than a full foot past where Skenes releases his pitches. That extension leads all starters, and cuts down on the time that the batter has to react to the pitch. The leaders in extension all play above their actual radar gun readings. This creates quite a power base for Misiorowski, who got 10 whiffs on his four-seamer to Skenes' one in their matchup. Milwaukee's righty should expect to keep getting misses for another reason. While their arm angles aren't too dissimilar — 31 degrees for Misiorowski and 23 degrees for Skenes, both lower than average but not extreme — their fastball shapes are completely different. Misiorowski gets surprising 'hop' or 'ride' on his pitch, about three inches more than you'd expect given his arm slot. His comps are the fastballs thrown by Mason Miller, Hunter Greene and Jacob deGrom in this light. Skenes gets more than an inch less than you'd expect, making his comps the four-seamers thrown by George Kirby and Sandy Alcantara, both pitchers whose sinkers are the better fastball. That hop means that Misiorowski likes to live at the top of the zone with the fastball. Jacob Misiorowski's fastball is already doing Jacob Misiorowski fastball things — Nick Pollack (@PitcherList) June 25, 2025 This sets him up to use his hard breaking balls down off that pitch. Nobody in baseball throws a harder slider than the Brewer righty. Nobody! Not even a reliever! Only Cristian Mena throws a harder curveball, and he is a reliever. This is peak deGrom-type stuff, once you factor in the similarities in the fastball and the breaking balls, though Misiorowski is missing the command that deGrom has showed his whole career. Advertisement Skenes' fastball has more horizontal movement than expected, which sets him up to work the sweeper and changeup around that pitch east to west. Maybe it's this sideways philosophy that has led to a gradual use of the changeup (which has more horizontal movement) over the ballyhooed 'splinker' or hybrid splitter/sinker he throws. Paul Skenes, Dirty 88mph Changeup. 👌 — Rob Friedman (@PitchingNinja) June 13, 2025 Wednesday, Skenes threw nine changeups against five splinkers and continued the trend. He also threw 16 frisbee sweepers, six curveballs that had more sideways movement than usual, and 10 sinkers which had more horizontal movement than any sinker thrown over 97.5 mph this year. Both pitchers have top-shelf stuff among starters, but they couldn't be more different. Once you sum up all their pitches and compare them, their difference in styles becomes remarkably apparent. Look where they threw their pitches Wednesday (charts from Baseball Savant). This approach worked better for Misiorowski on Wednesday, producing more whiffs and keeping the Pirates off the board, but Skenes has obviously had a ton of success pitching low in the zone and working more east to west as well. Going forward, these differences may mute. Maybe Skenes just wasn't getting his four-seamer up as much as he's used to, which would have created more separation and maybe kept the Brewers from zeroing in on those low pitches and taking them for well-timed singles and a double. And in the future, Misiorowski may need to throw more changeups in the zone to keep lefties from laying off that hard slider in that has produced many memorable moments already. But at least for one game, we got a lesson in how different top of the league stuff can look. (Top photo illustration of Misiorowski and Skenes: John Fisher/ Getty Images; Benny Sieu / Imagn Images)

Red Sox starting P Kutter Crawford needs likely season-ending surgery after undisclosed off-field 'accident'
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Kutter Crawford's season is likely over before it started due to an undisclosed off-field "accident" that resulted in a wrist injury. Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced the injury to reporters Wednesday afternoon. Advertisement "Kutter's gonna have wrist surgery," Cora said. ... "It's one of those that — it sucks, right? Because we were talking about how deep we were in spring training and the options we had for the starting rotation. "Now it's getting thinner and thinner." Cora added that the surgery is "most likely" season-ending and that the injury wasn't baseball related. 'I'm not going to go into details, but this was an off-the-field injury,' Cora said, per MassLive. Cora emphasized that the injury wasn't a result of Crawford doing anything "irresponsible." Advertisement 'It's not disappointing. It's just an accident,' Cora said. "It just sucks that it happened this way. I'm not going to get into details, but it wasn't irresponsible.' Crawford was Boston's most durable starter Crawford, 29, is in his fifth MLB season, each of which he's played with the Red Sox. Crawford led the AL with 33 starts last season and led the Red Sox with 183 2/3 innings pitched. He produced a 4.36 ERA and 1.122 WHIP with 175 strikeouts and 55 walks. He also allowed an MLB-high 34 home runs. Crawford has not pitched this season. He started spring training sidelined with tendinosis in his right knee that plagued him throughout the 2024 season and began the season on the 60-day injured list. Advertisement Crawford threw batting-practice sessions in May and was slated for rehab assignments in June in his comeback from his knee injury. But the wrist injury has likely ended his season. Red Sox dealing with multiple pitching injuries The news is a further blow to an already shorthanded Red Sox rotation. Starters Tanner Houck and Hunter Dobbins are both on the 15-day injured list. Both are dealing with elbow strains. Per MassLive, Houck has made two rehab starts at Triple-A Worcester, and Dobbins is scheduled to throw a bullpen session over the upcoming weekend. The Red Sox entered Wednesday on a four-game losing streak in the aftermath of the controversial trade of slugger Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. Boston lost two of those games to the Giants with Devers playing for San Francisco. The Red Sox are 40-41 and in fourth place in the AL East, six games behind the first place New York Yankees.

Mets Fans In Disbelief After Unexpected Move on Sunday
Mets Fans In Disbelief After Unexpected Move on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Mets had a get-right game on Saturday, beating the Philadelphia Phillies 11-4 after losing seven straight contests. They also flipped the script after the Phillies beat them 10-2 on Friday to open the series. Advertisement Saturday's win tied the two teams atop the NL East, setting up a Sunday night rubber match with the division lead on the line. Southpaw pitcher David Peterson (5-2, 2.60 ERA) will start for New York against Philadelphia southpaw Jesus Luzardo (6-3, 4.41 ERA) at Citizens Bank Park. However, the Mets announced a surprise roster move before the contest, via their social media. New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez (4).Kyle Ross-Imagn Images They optioned catcher Francisco Alvarez to Triple-A Syracuse and recalled fellow catcher Hayden Senger from Triple-A. Alvarez is slashing .236/.319/.333 with three homers and 11 RBI over 35 games this season, while Senger is slashing .179/.207/.214 over 13 contests. Alvarez made his big-league debut in 2022, and Senger is a rookie. New York fans are shocked on social media, considering that Alvarez homered on Saturday. Advertisement "Homers then gets optioned. Cruel world, man," one person said. "After he homered?" another one asked. "He just needs bench time, not a trip back to Syracuse," another one added. "I think Mendy and Stearns are just making [expletive] up as they go." "He hits and gets sent down. I'm baffled here," another said. "Help me to understand, please. Listen, I'm a NY rangers fan. I understand bad coaching and player development. Give me a hint here." "This makes no sense right after he looks like he's hitting the ball better," another said.
