"Misiorowski, 23, made waves when he debuted back in June by posting massive strikeout totals in the first few starts of his career and landed a somewhat controversial All-Star nod just five starts into his MLB career. At that time, he had a 2.81 ERA and a 33.7% career strikeout rate. He turned in another pair of strong (albeit abbreviated) starts to round out the month of July and bring his ERA down to 2.70 while his strikeout rate crept up to an incredible 36.4%."
"A five-run blowup against the Reds in Cincinnati where the right-hander recorded just four outs marked an inauspicious return from the shelf, and he left the month of August having posted a 9.58 ERA in three starts. That was easy enough to dismiss as a fluke given the continued excellence of his peripherals, highlighted by a game against the Diamondbacks where Misiorowski struck out ten of his opponents in just five innings of work while walking only one."
Jacob Misiorowski debuted in June with dominant strikeout totals and earned an All-Star nod five starts into his career. He started with a 2.81 ERA and a 33.7% strikeout rate, improving to a 2.70 ERA and 36.4% by July. He missed two weeks in August with a tibia contusion after being hit by a comebacker. Since returning he has shown inconsistencies, including a five-run outing in Cincinnati and a 9.58 August ERA in three starts, though he struck out ten in five innings against Arizona. In September his strikeout rate fell to 22.6% and he surrendered multiple recent home runs. Manager Pat Murphy is considering using him out of the bullpen over the final week to determine a playoff role.
