Jacob Misiorowski sets an MLB record by winning two games with minimal hits, making him a top waiver wire pick. He has been one of the standout rookies.
MILWAUKEE — There’s going to be plenty of hard throwing Wednesday in the first pitching matchup between Pittsburgh’s Paul Skenes and Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski.
Paul Skenes leads the 2025 NL Cy Young race with the fewest runs allowed, followed by Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Zack Wheeler. Skubal and Fried lead the AL race.
Sheets fought through ailments to produce four All-Star Game appearances (2001, 2004, 2007, 2008) during his time with the Brewers.
The first trip to the All-Star Game came during a rookie season in which he finished with an 11-10 record and 94 strikeouts. In Sheets’ ninth career start, he pitched a five-hit shutout vs. the St. Louis Cardinals.
Caldwell began his career with the San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, and Cincinnati Reds, but the best stretch of his career came with the Brewers.
Honorable mention: RHP Jim Slaton (1971-77, 1979-83)
Slaton spent the majority of his career in Milwaukee and is the franchise leader in wins (117), shutouts (19), games started (268), and innings pitched (2,025.1).
Slaton is also second in complete games (69) and fourth in strikeouts (929) in Brewers history. In 1977, Slaton was selected to the All-Star Game and finished with 104 strikeouts and a 3.58 ERA.
