The Milwaukee Brewers rookie sensation is mirroring Doc Gooden’s legendary dominance from 1985.
It seems like every time Jacob Misirowoski steps onto the mound, he's making MLB history.
The Milwaukee Brewers have another Cy Young candidate on their hands, and with numbers as good as Misirowoski's, it comes as no surprise that he's the frontrunner.
Misiorowski has made five starts in the month of August, and every single one has been a quality start.
Now, according to ESPN Insights, he just accomplished something that hasn't been done in the league since 1985.
Misiorowski's earned run statistic is unbelievable
Officially, Misiorowski became the first pitcher since Doc Gooden to start a season with 25 straight starts allowing three earned runs or less in each, and he's only the seventh pitcher to ever have a streak that long.
At just 24-years-old, the sky truly is the limit for this kid. Having only appeared in 15 games a year ago and throwing 66 innings, this is still considered his rookie season, and it sure is one to remember.
Miz leads the league with his 1.73 ERA, 222 strikeouts, and 0.75 WHIP. Those three numbers are quite impressive, to say the least, and it's worth noting he just picked up his 14th win of the year to improve to 14-5.
The Brewers are 17-8 in games Misiorowski has started this season, which goes to show just how valuable he truly is, if his 5.6 WAR didn't already express that.
Misiorowski's 25th start of the year is already 11 more games than he started a year ago, and it's unbelievable to see his ERA fall from the 4.36 it was in 2025, along with the fact that his K/BB ratio has gone up from 2.8 to 6.3.
Simply put, no one is doing it like Misiorowski, and if he can somehow keep up this pace for his final few starts, there's no doubt the Brewers will have their first Cy Young Award winner since Corbin Burnes in 2021.
Brewers have a superstar on their hands
When looking at his game log, it's simply unbelievable to see the pitcher Misiorowski has become.
Somehow, his ERA rose from 1.68 to 1.73. Anytime Misiorowski gives up two earned runs in a start, his ERA is going to rise, which is something that's truly hard to fathom.
The Missouri native has thrown exactly six innings in each of his last four starts. He's 3-1 in the month of August and hasn't had a single month where his ERA was higher than 3.58.
