Jacob Misiorowski’s Meteoric Rise: Will This Fantasy Baseball Phenom Defy the Odds or Crash Hard?

A member of the Astros organization since last August, Walter has made a few changes since we last saw him in big league games in 2023.
For starters, his cutter velocity is up from 87 mph to 88.3 mph and features double the iVB while cutting down on some of the horizontal run. As you can see below, it’s his primary fastball offering, and he uses it exclusively against right-handed hitters. He does a nice job getting the pitch inside, but keeps it more in the middle of the zone rather than attacking up or down with it. The pitch has high zone and strike rates, but it also doesn’t miss many bats and has a 47% Ideal Contact Rate allowed, so that’s not an ideal pairing.
