On Tuesday, he became the hurler of some of the fastest pitches thrown in the Midsummer Classic.
Misiorowski clocked nine pitches over 100 mph during a scoreless eighth inning in the National League’s 7-6 victory over the American League at Truist Park. That total is second in the pitch tracking era (since 2008) to only Aroldis Chapman, who reached triple digits 13 times in 2015.
Misiorowski is the sixth pitcher to deliver at least 10 pitches that reached 99 mph in an All-Star Game since 2008. He hurled 11 such pitches.
“I just thought it'd be a game,” said Misiorowski, who was named a replacement for the Cubs' Matthew Boyd. “But it was a lot more than just a game, and it was a lot fun."
Misiorowski faced Randy Arozarena, Alejandro Kirk, Jonathan Aranda and Zach McKinstry. The only hit he allowed was to Aranda.
“I was trying to get a changeup by him and have a little fun and just show off, and he got to it,” Misiorowski said on the FOX broadcast. “It’s all fun.”
Misiorowski, though, still made an impression on Aranda.
“I was just really impressed because I know what that young pitcher is capable of,” said Aranda. “I have a lot of respect for him, but at the same time I was trying to get a hit.”
Misiorowski credited his teammates for “hyping him up” in the bullpen as he warmed up for his All-Star debut.
"Was I nervous? Of course,” he said. “Every time I go out there to face a live hitter, I'm always nervous. … There's always the little nerves at the bottom of your stomach that [are] like, 'Holy cow. Like, I'm actually doing this.'"
Misiorowski was excited to learn from players he has watched growing up. He specifically noted 6-foot-6, 180-pound Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale.
“He was another long, lanky guy that you kind of base your game off of because that’s just what I am,” Misiorowski said. “So it’s always been a fun guy to watch. [He’s] obviously on the other side, but you can still take little bits and pieces.”
