Fans Split on How Brewers Should Manage Jacob Misiorowski’s Pitch Load
A recent SB Nation Reacts poll shows 47% of respondents want strict pitch limits for Jacob Misiorowski, while 38% prefer spreading his starts and 15% favor keeping his current five-day rotation.
SB Nation’s Reacts poll queried Brewers fans on the optimal approach to Jacob Misiorowski’s usage for the remainder of the season. Results indicated that 47% of participants favor imposing strict pitch-count caps, 38% would like his starts spread out further, and the remaining 15% support keeping him on a regular five-day rotation. To date, Misiorowski has thrown 120 innings across 20 games, nearing his previous career-high of 141 ⅓ innings recorded last year between Triple-A and the majors.
The club has already reduced his workload, limiting him to 83 pitches in his most recent start and 65 in the one before that. With the trade deadline approaching, acquiring another starter could ease Misiorowski’s burden while bolstering the rotation for the final two months of play.
Why it matters
