US EditionPirates’ Skenes and Brewers’ Misiorowski Will Test Hitters and Radar Guns in 1st MLB Matchup
- Pirates ace Paul Skenes and Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski will face each other as opposing starters Wednesday at American Family Field in Milwaukee.
- This first-time matchup follows Misiorowski's strong MLB debut and Skenes’ recognition as 2024 NL rookie of the year, though Brewers manager Pat Murphy says it's too soon to compare them.
- Misiorowski has allowed one hit over 11 innings in two starts while Skenes struck out 19 batters and gave up four hits over 13 innings against the Brewers, including seven no-hit innings last July.
- Both 23-year-old flamethrowing right-handers show similar average four-seam fastball velocities, with Misiorowski at 99.7 mph and Skenes at 98.1 mph, ranking just behind Hunter Greene among starters.
- The game offers Misiorowski the opportunity to test his skills against one of baseball’s elite pitchers, as both teams share a mix of enthusiasm and caution about making direct comparisons at this early stage.
