MLB Hitters Share What It's Like To Face Jacob Misiorowski: 'Swing And Pray'

Jacob Misiorowski looks like the runaway NL Cy Young favorite — he led MLB in ERA (1.80), strikeouts (252), strikeout rate and WHIP, and held hitters to a record-low .157 average.
He routinely blew heaters past batters — 143 four-seamers over 103 mph this season (peak 105.5 mph), far more than any other starter — and opponents say it “plays” even faster.
At 6'7" his enormous extension and low release make the fastball feel instant — hitters joke “swing and pray,” and only a few can brag about actually taking him deep.
