Jacob Misiorowski Added to All-Star Roster After 5 Starts, Breaks Skenes' MLB Record

Milwaukee Brewers rookie starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski has been added to the National League All-Star team, setting the record for fewest games played (five) before a first All-Star Game selection.

That mark was previously held by Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, who made 11 appearances last year before starting the 2024 NL All-Star Game.

Misiorowski replaced Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Matthew Boyd on the NL roster.

The 23-year-old Misiorowski has gone 4-1 with a 2.81 ERA (0.90 WHIP) over his five starts, striking out 33 batters in 25.2 innings.

Misiorowski just enjoyed a fantastic start on Tuesday, striking out 12 batters over six innings while allowing just one earned run in a 3-1 victory over the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

Understandably, Misiorowski was quite ecstatic and emotional upon hearing the news.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy revealed the news during a team meeting.

Misiorowski will now be headed to Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves, for the All-Star Game on Tuesday. First pitch is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET.
