Mound Mush Didn't Stop Misiorowski's Dominance
28 Aug
Summary
- Misiorowski pitched six innings, allowing only two runs despite mound issues.
- A rain-soaked, soft mound affected his velocity and footing.
- He persevered through the difficult conditions to secure the win.
Jacob Misiorowski pitched through challenging conditions last night, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to an 8-2 victory over the New York Mets at Citi Field. The pitcher's outing was significantly impacted by a soft mound, exacerbated by persistent rain, which lowered his typical 100+ mph velocity.
Misiorowski battled the conditions, which caused him to land in muddy areas, forcing ground crews to repeatedly try and firm up the mound. By the fifth inning, he had conceded two runs, but he quickly recovered to finish his six-inning performance scoreless. Despite the difficulties with his footing and reduced velocity, Misiorowski remained focused on baffling the Mets hitters and securing the win.
He expressed that while his velocity was down, he felt sharp and capable of powering through the adverse circumstances. Misiorowski dismissed any suggestions that he was intentionally holding back velocity, emphasizing that fatigue is common at this point in the season. His performance demonstrated resilience and determination in overcoming external challenges to achieve success on the field.
