Why can't anyone hit Jacob Misiorowski? A deep dive into his rapid metamorphosis (06.17.2026)

It's another midweek Microbrew, with host JR Radcliffe and special guest Jack Stern of Brewer Fanatic, who uses his pitching expertise to help explain what's turned Jacob Misiorowski into one of baseball's superstars seemingly overnight. They dive deep into what the Brewers have done to contribute to his success, why he's so hard to hit (yes, he throws extremely hard, but it's more than that), how he's improved physically and mentally and more on the mechanics of a one-man revolution. They also touch briefly on the arrival of Cooper Pratt, the decision to part ways with Luis Rengifo and what fans can expect from their new young shortstop.Then, we dig into the archive for a 2023 conversation with Jim Callis (27:00), draft expert from MLB.com, going over the machinations of the 2023 draft and how the Brewers put Pratt at the center of their plans. Perhaps you'll find a Misiorowski reference or two in that conversation, as well.Our semi-regular midweek episodes will tackle a bigger topic in depth, with another regular episode landing Monday morning on the week in review.
