Lanky Brewers Rookie Misiorowski Shines in NLDS Game 5 Showdown
12 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Brewers' rookie pitcher Misiorowski throws hard, has a baby face
- Misiorowski chosen as All-Star replacement after just 5 MLB starts
- Struggled in second half due to injury, but stuff still special
On October 12th, 2025, the Milwaukee Brewers' rookie right-hander Misiorowski took the mound in Game 5 of the National League Division Series against the Chicago Cubs. Misiorowski, known for his lanky frame and baby-faced appearance, has been a surprise standout for the Brewers this season.
Earlier this year, Misiorowski made history when he was chosen as an All-Star replacement after just 5 starts in the majors - the fewest such games to ever earn an All-Star spot. However, Misiorowski struggled in the second half of the season, in part due to an injury.
Despite the setback, Misiorowski's electric stuff has fans excited about his potential. At 6'8", he's not even the tallest Brewers pitcher to feature in this NLDS Game 5 - that distinction goes to Trevor Megill, who started as an opener. But Misiorowski's combination of power and poise on the mound has many predicting a long and impactful big league career for the young hurler, potentially with more All-Star selections to come.
