Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski sets new first in 125 years with insane achievement
The post Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski sets new first in 125 years with insane achievement appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Milwaukee Brewers are trying to get back into the postseason after the sour taste that the 2024 playoffs left in their mouth, and they are on the right track so far in 2025. Milwaukee can get it done with both its bats and its arms, and both were on display on Friday night. Advertisement The Brewers crushed the Minnesota Twins 17-6 on the road on Friday in the first game of a three-game set, showing off everything that they have to offer. Despite the eye-popping offensive numbers in this contest, starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski was the star of the show. The 23-year old was just recently called up from the Minor Leagues, but he already looks like a star. He mowed through the Twins' lineup on Friday, throwing six innings and giving up just one hit, a two-rune home run to Matt Wallner. Misiorowski struck out six and walked just one while getting his second win of his young career. Incredibly, Friday's performance didn't even stack up to his debut against the St. Louis Cardinals, when he threw five no-hit innings without giving up a run. Add that on to what he did against the Twins, and you have some incredible MLB history. Misiorowski is the only pitcher since 1900 to have more wins than hits allowed over his first two career starts, according to the league in a post on social media. Advertisement Of course, the young prospect has a pair of victories and just one hit allowed through two starts and 11 innings on the mound. While this pace is surely unsustainable, it looks like the Brewers have a good one on their hands. Even if he starts to fall off a bit, adding another quality arm into the rotation could make a massive difference for this Milwaukee squad. At the moment, the Brewers are in second place in the NL Central with a 41-35 record and are 4.5 games back of the Chicago Cubs for the top spot. They are also in the NL Wild Card hunt, so there is still plenty of time to get hot with more than 80 games remaining.

(AUSL) Has professional softball's moment finally arrived? MLB certainly seems to think so. Meet the AUSL: The new Athletes Unlimited Softball League's inaugural season began earlier this month, and a week before the first pitch it secured an eight-figure investment from Major League Baseball as a strategic partner. "This is a watershed moment for women's sports and especially for softball," said AUSL commissioner and former Marlins GM Kim Ng. "MLB's investment will supercharge our efforts to build the sustainable professional league this sport has long deserved." AUSL, explained: Athletes Unlimited launched in 2020 with a unique concept for women's professional sports, using fantasy-style scoring to crown individual champions in their softball, basketball and volleyball leagues that redraft new teams each week. AUSL takes a different tack, giving AU its first traditional, team-based league. Advertisement Teams and format: Four teams (Bandits, Talons, Volts, Blaze) are playing a 24-game barnstorming season across 10 cities, with plans to expand to six city-based teams next summer. The season culminates in a best-of-three championship in late July, followed by the All-Star Cup in August, which will revert to AU's original redraft format. Players: Rosters are peppered with recent college superstars like 2025 POY Bri Ellis (Arkansas), 2021 pitcher of the year Odicci Alexander (JMU) and four-time Women's College World Series champion Tiare Jennings (Oklahoma). How to watch: All 72 games, including those in the All-Star Cup, will air on linear TV, with a majority broadcast across ESPN's platforms. What they're saying: "Our goal is to get a softball league into the same position of stability that the WNBA has found," says MLB commissioner Rob Manfred. It's a tall task, to be sure, but the sport appears to be in a prime position to take it on. McKenzie Clark, part of AUSL's first-ever trade, slides into home plate. (AUSL) Business is booming: After decades of professional softball leagues failing to gain traction, MLB's historic investment and the current landscape should combine to give AUSL a real chance of breaking through. This year's WCWS was the most-watched ever across its 15-game slate, with Game 3 of the Finals drawing a college softball record 2.4 million viewers. That's more than watched the first round of the Masters (2.3M) or Duke-UNC in the ACC tournament semifinals (2.3M). Texas Tech's NiJaree Canady signed two $1 million NIL deals this year. That type of star power is exactly what the AUSL is banking on, with fans following their favorite players from college to the pros like they do in other major leagues. Looking ahead: The next few years are critical. If the league has a strong start, it can take that momentum straight into 2028, when softball returns to the Olympic program in Los Angeles. 📚 Good reads (Dillon Minshall, Yahoo Sports) 🥊 Elliot Worsell: Deontay Wilder's right hand can only break things, not fix them Advertisement Once one of the most ferocious fighters on the planet, Tuscaloosa's former heavyweight king returns Friday as a cause for concern rather than the cause of fear.

Next Paul Skenes? Brewers Rookie Pitcher Looking Like Next Superstar Ace
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. As they do almost every season, the Milwaukee Brewers have produced another player that looks like he could be one of baseball's next young superstars. That has been the case with rookie starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski and through his first three starts, he has impressed in a major way. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN - JUNE 25: Jacob Misiorowski #32 of the Milwaukee Brewers reacts after striking out a batter in the fifth inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates at American Family Field on June 25, 2025 in... MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN - JUNE 25: Jacob Misiorowski #32 of the Milwaukee Brewers reacts after striking out a batter in the fifth inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates at American Family Field on June 25, 2025 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. MoreMisiorowski took the mound on Wednesday in a highly anticipated showdown against Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes, and he delivered in a big way. He went five shutout innings, allowed just two hits with two walks and strikeouts. Misiorowski outdueled Skenes and helped the Brewers knock off the Pirates by a score of 4-2. After the five shutout innings, Misiorowski now has a 3-0 record with a 1.13 ERA and 19 strikeouts across 16 innings pitched. Even more impressive than that, he's faced 56 batters and has allowed only three hits. His opponent batting average is just .030, which would easily be the best across baseball if he were a qualified pitcher. His dominance on the mound has been nothing short of amazing and has already made him one of the best young pitchers in the game. A career-high 8 strikeouts for Jacob Misiorowski! Batters are now hitting .030 against him 🤯 — MLB (@MLB) June 25, 2025 Another impressive feat from Misiorowski's young career is that after just three starts and 16 innings pitched, he is already the frontrunner for the National League Rookie of the Year award. According to ESPNBET, his +175 odds lead all players, just ahead of Drake Baldwin (+375) and Agustin Ramirez (+500). If he is able to continue his dominance and secure the award, he will become the fourth player in the last six seasons from the NL Central to win the NL ROY. Not only could his success secure him those honors, but it could also help the Brewers go on a run that leads to their fourth division title in the last five seasons.
