Jacob Misiorowski stuns MLB: rookie mixes pitches to extend historic hitless streak

Jacob Misiorowski has taken Major League Baseball by surprise with his dominant pitching and historic start. The 6-foot-7 rookie right-hander extended his hitless innings streak to 11 before a home run ended it, marking the first time since 1900 a starter began his career with such a streak.

Misiorowski's arsenal includes a blazing fastball that topped out at 102.1 mph, complemented by a slider and changeup in the mid-90s, allowing him to strike out six batters in a game.

Manager Pat Murphy praised his approach, saying, "He was attacking, but mixing too. It wasn't just heaters."

Statistically, Misiorowski stands alone in MLB history since 1900 as the only pitcher to have more wins (2) than hits allowed (1) in his first two career starts, according to OptaSTATS.

His early success has drawn attention not only for his velocity but also for his strategic pitch mixing, which has kept hitters off balance and extended his historic streak. This combination of power and finesse suggests a promising future for the rookie on the mound.

Despite the streak ending with a home run after a walk, Misiorowski's performance remains a remarkable feat, highlighting his potential impact in the league.
