Jacob Misiorowski Shines Bright in MLB All-Star Debut Amid Controversy and Cheers
Let me just say—if you didn’t catch the 2025 MLB All-Star Game in Atlanta, you missed a whirlwind of emotion, history, and one heck of a breakout moment for the Milwaukee Brewers’ own Jacob Misiorowski. Yes, that same 22-year-old phenom with just five big-league appearances under his belt. Five. Yet there he was, not just on the All-Star roster, but standing tall under the brightest lights baseball has to offer.
The buzz around Misiorowski’s selection was electric—both support and skepticism flooding social media. Some fans were thrilled to see raw talent recognized, while others questioned whether five games was enough to earn an All-Star spot. But as we all know, baseball is a game of moments, and Misiorowski’s moment had arrived.
And let’s be real, the kid has earned it. In those five starts, he’s averaged over five innings with an almost laughable 2.4 hits allowed per game. He’s rewriting what it means to dominate early. The Brewers, already enjoying their best-ever All-Star break record at 56 wins, are being powered by this new wave of talent—and Misiorowski is front and center.

Before the game even started, Misiorowski was introduced as “The Miz” by announcer Joe Davis, a nod to his rising celebrity and maybe a hint of future meme gold when he inevitably crosses paths with WWE’s The Miz. But it wasn’t all flair. He walked the red carpet with a Pokémon Lugia lining in his suit—because when you throw 102 mph, you might as well dress like a mythical creature capable of knocking down houses.
Once the game began, there were highlights all around. The National League jumped out early with a 2-0 lead, thanks to Arizona’s Ketel Marte. Meanwhile, Paul Skenes, last year’s rookie phenom, opened the game with heaters reaching over 100 mph—setting the tone for the night. And yes, Manny Machado, long hated by Brewers fans since 2018, became the first victim of MLB’s automatic ball-strike (ABS) challenge system. The irony wasn’t lost on anyone.
Trevor Megill, Milwaukee’s closer and Misiorowski’s All-Star teammate, also made a special impression—both on and off the field. On the red carpet, he paid tribute to the late Bob Uecker with a plaid suit lining featuring Uecker’s iconic “Juuuust a bit outside” line. Talk about heart.
As for Misiorowski, the pregame nerves were real. On MLB Network’s show, he admitted eating a huge breakfast because he couldn’t stomach food before games. But when he learned he made the All-Star roster, he was speechless. “Are you for real?” he recalled saying to Brewers manager Pat Murphy.
And despite all the chatter about whether he belonged, Misiorowski stayed grounded. His plan? “Keep doing what I’m doing, have fun, and win some games.”
Honestly, that’s the spirit that makes baseball what it is. Whether it’s your 200th game or your fifth, greatness shows up when you let your passion lead. And tonight, in Atlanta, Jacob Misiorowski didn’t just show up—he arrived.
