Forget the game preview for a second, because the biggest story in Milwaukee—and maybe all of baseball—is Jacob Misiorowski. The flamethrowing right-hander has done something no starting pitcher has ever done in the modern era: begin his Major League career with 11 consecutive no-hit innings. It's a staggering, almost unbelievable achievement that has the entire league buzzing and gives the Brew Crew a new, electric arm as they push through the heart of the season.
11 consecutive no-hit innings to start a Major League career—a modern-era record for a starting pitcher.
What Jacob Misiorowski is doing feels like something out of a video game. Through his first two starts, he's been literally unhittable. Armed with a fastball that regularly kisses triple digits and a devastating plus-plus curveball, he has completely overwhelmed hitters. His 11-inning no-hit streak to start his career is a new benchmark for a starter in the modern era, sparking immediate debate about his long-term role. Is he the next dominant starter, or could his high-octane stuff make him the most elite relief weapon in the game? For now, Brewers fans are just enjoying the historic ride.
Misiorowski isn't an anomaly; he's the latest product of a farm system that continues to be the envy of the league. The Brewers currently boast four prospects in MLB Pipeline's Top 100, showcasing incredible organizational depth. Joining Misiorowski are catcher Jeferson Quero (No. 47), who is working his way back from a torn labrum, and a pair of dynamic shortstops in Jesus Made (No. 55) and Cooper Pratt. This pipeline is the engine driving the Brewers' sustained success, ensuring that for every injury or slump, another high-impact player is waiting in the wings.
The team's depth was put to the test this week as outfielder Garrett Mitchell was placed on the injured list. While losing Mitchell's speed and defense is a blow, the Brewers acted quickly by calling up the son of a former player to fill the roster spot. This 'next man up' mentality, fueled by the strong farm system, is crucial as the team navigates the grueling 162-game schedule and aims to protect its standing in the NL Central.
With the buzz of Misiorowski's record still fresh, the Brewers turn their attention to a tough road series against the New York Mets at Citi Field tonight. The Crew will look to build on recent momentum, which has been powered in part by the hot bat of Christian Yelich, who drove in two runs on two hits in the recent series against the Cardinals. Securing wins on the road against a quality opponent like the Mets is exactly what Milwaukee needs to do to solidify its position as a true contender.
As the Brewers gear up to face the Mets at Citi Field, the team is a fascinating mix of historic highs and immediate challenges. With a rookie phenom dealing on the mound and a farm system ready to reload the big league club at a moment's notice, the loss of Garrett Mitchell feels manageable. Tonight's game in New York isn't just another road game; it's the next test for a team proving its depth and resilience on the path to October.
