Misiorowski dominated the Yankees, recording 11 strikeouts and allowing just two hits and two walks. He threw 95 pitches, 66 for strikes, and put an exclamation point on his outing with strikeouts of Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger. His second-last pitch was still in the 102s.
āObviously it was good he got a lead and was able to get after it,ā Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. āIt's that kind of lower slot that he has and then he gets the extension, almost more so than the velocity [that is the biggest challenge].
āI thought there were a couple times where we were getting some good at-bats against them and controlling the zone a little bit there. But he had that big lead and got after pretty good.ā
Whatever the balance is between arm slot, extension and speed when Misiorowski pitches, consider Jones impressed.
He didnāt know where to find the radar gun readout, so he was unsure how fast Misiorowskiās pitches were coming until after the fact. He just knew they were unlike any heād seen on his climb to the majors.
āNot with that kind of velocity and aggression,ā said Jones, who was 0 for 2 with a walk and two strikeouts as the designated hitter. āI mean, he was in the zone. He was so hard.ā
