Jacob Misiorowski Sets Record Start as Tim Kurkjian Praises Him

Jacob Misiorowski opened the 2026 MLB season by delivering 47 pitches that topped 101 mph, establishing a new league benchmark for a rookie. He posted a 9.

8 K/9 rate and allowed only one walk in his first five outings, stifling opposing batters. Despite his dominance, defensive miscues led the Brewers to a 3‑2 loss.

Analyst Tim Kurkjian described the start as unprecedented and a sign of a future ace in the making.
