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

The changeup is another high zone rate pitch that has an absurdly low 17% ICR allowed to righties while also posting a league-average swinging strike rate. He does a good job keeping it in the lower half of the strike zone and away from righties, which is who he throws it to exclusively. That’s a pretty solid three-pitch mix against right-handed hitters that won’t lead to tons of strikeouts but should lead to a fair amount of weak contact.
Lefties see a heavy dose of Walters’ sweeper, both early in the count and with two-strikes, and also get an equally heavy dose of sinkers that weirdly have an 83rd percentile PutAway Rate against lefties. He’ll mix in the odd four-seamer to lefties and righties, which means that he has four pitches he can use to righties and three he can use to lefties, all while locating his pitch in the zone well.
