Brewers’ $788K Fireballer Takes Center Stage at World Series
The hard-throwing pitcher becomes a World Series focal point.
Milwaukee's young fireballer Jacob Misiorowski, known as "The Miz," is the star of this year’s low-revenue World Series between the Brewers and Rays. The 24-year-old pitcher, who is widely expected to win the National League Cy Young Award, boasts an open Pokémon obsession and has redefined the limits of fastball speed with a 105.5 mph throw in June.
Despite his slender frame and youth, Misiorowski has become an All-Star Game starter and a fan favorite, especially among young kids. His salary of $788,300 reflects his status as one of the league's lowest-paid players, as he is still under the Brewers' control and won't be eligible for arbitration until 2028. Misiorowski is set to start Game 1 in the World Series for the Brewers, and is focused on giving his signature fireball performance for the team's first World Series title in 44 years.
