Roberts, Murphy Defend Misiorowski ‘S Selection to NL All-Stat Roster
ATLANTA, JUL 12 – Misiorowski earned an All-Star spot after just five MLB starts, replacing Matthew Boyd, while Phillies' Sanchez missed out due to scheduling despite a 2.59 ERA, costing him a $200,000 bonus.
- Milwaukee Brewers rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski was selected for the National League’s All-Star roster for Tuesday night’s game in Atlanta.
- The selection sparked debate due to Misiorowski's limited experience of only five major league starts, while other players had better season numbers.
- Brewers manager Pat Murphy and NL manager Dave Roberts defended the choice, emphasizing Misiorowski's excitement, talent, and the game's focus on fan interest.
- Misiorowski, 23, has a 4-1 record and a 2.81 ERA, threw a 100.5 mph fastball on his debut, and became the first Brewers pitcher to throw five no-hit innings in his first game.
- The Brewers plan to give away 25,000 T-shirts honoring Misiorowski on August 10, reflecting his rising profile and support for Parkinson's awareness.
