Misiorowski overpowered the Padres throughout the evening, delivering seven scoreless innings while allowing only four hits. The 24-year-old right-hander struck out 10 batters without issuing a walk and continued showcasing the elite velocity that has quickly turned him into one of baseball’s most electric young pitchers.
His fastball reached 103.2 mph during another strong outing, but concern grew when he did not return for the eighth inning. Brewers manager Pat Murphy later said Misiorowski experienced quad cramps before Milwaukee’s bullpen allowed three ninth-inning runs in a frustrating 3-1 loss.
Following the game, Fox Sports 920’s Hunter Baumgardt shared Misiorowski’s response Wednesday on X, formerly Twitter, after speaking with the right-hander inside the clubhouse.
“Nothing we haven’t seen before so it’ll be fine. I’ll be ready to go.”

The update immediately eased concerns surrounding one of the National League’s emerging stars. Misiorowski currently leads the league in strikeouts with 80 and continues establishing himself as the centerpiece of Milwaukee’s pitching staff during a breakout campaign.
Earlier this month, the right-hander also dealt with minor cramping during a start against the Washington Nationals before returning without any lingering issues. Wednesday’s comments strongly suggested the Brewers expect a similar outcome this time as well.
Although the Brewers failed to capitalize on another dominant outing from their ace, the performance still served as another reminder of Misiorowski’s immense potential. Between his overpowering fastball, improving command, and ability to consistently miss bats, the young starter continues developing into one of the most dangerous pitchers in baseball.
For the Brewers, the most important takeaway from Wednesday night may simply be that their ace expects to remain on schedule for his next start.
