Amateur career

edit

Misiorowski grew up in Grain Valley, Missouri and attended Grain Valley High School.[1] As a junior, he posted a 9–2 record with a 1.48 ERA and was named All-State.[2] Misiorowski's senior season was canceled due to COVID-19.[3] Misiorowski initially committed to play college baseball at Oklahoma State, but later decided to enroll at Crowder College.[4]

Misiorowski appeared in two games as a freshman at Crowder before redshirting the season. He committed to transfer to Louisiana State for his final three years of collegiate eligibility during the season.[1] Misiorowski made 15 starts during his redshirt season and was named a second team NJCAA All-American after going 10–0 with a 2.72 ERA and registering 136 strikeouts in 76 innings pitched.[5] Following the end of the season, Misiorowski participated in the Major League Baseball Combine and recorded the eight fastest pitches and averaged 99.8 miles per hour on his fastball.[6][7]

Although Misiorowski had committed to play college baseball at Louisiana State University,[8] the Milwaukee Brewers selected Misiorowski 63rd overall in the 2022 Major League Baseball draft.[9] He signed with the Brewers on July 27, 2022, for an over-slot signing bonus of $2.35 million;[10] the slot value for the 63rd pick that year was $1.1 million.[8]
