Misiorowski

2022 MLB Draft: Extra tall and wiry pitcher with 6-foot-7 frame to add strength. Very good arm speed with explosive stuff – ball flies off his fingertips. Fastball works at 96-102 mph and jumps in the zone with plus late action. Throws quality fastballs in the zone. Sits 98-102 for the first few innings and holds velocity 97-99 into the sixth. Very good spin on power slider at 88-93 mph with deception and big, sharp, late break and hard diving action. Many plus sliders with some plus-plus. Changeup was 84-85 mph with deception and sink. Athletic to repeat delivery and throw strikes with stuff and develop plus future command. Ability to dominate hitters with swing and miss stuff. Showed ability to make adjustments and loves to compete. Had his best game of the year in the JUCO World Series where he dominated the eventual National champions Central Arizona. Has big-time stuff now, with potential 3 plus pitches, feel for pitching and intangibles to be top-of-the-rotation starter at the Major League level.

Misioroswki had some draft attention, including a pre-draft workout by PBR as a prep and it has only continued to trend upward. Now committed to Louisiana State, the 6-foot-7 righty sits in the mid-90s with a high-spin fastball that touches 98, out of a 3/4 slot with a loose arm action that enables him to create more than 20 inches of Induced Vertical Break on average. He also flashes a potential plus slider with sharp lateral bite at 85-87, a low-80s curveball and a changeup that he does not need to use very often but shows potential. After missing time due to injury as a freshman in 2021, Misiorowski's health and durability will be a key factor in allowing him to reach his top-of-the-rotation and first-round upside in '22.

Long, slender bodied and projectable at 6-foot-6, 200 pounds, Misiorowski works down the mound getting excellent extension out front (6'7+). From a 3/4 slot he's long and loose with a present fastball ranging from 90-93 and spin rates in the 2400-2500s. And, there looks to be much more in the tank. He can also spin it with two different breaking balls. When separated his upper 79-81 mph curveball is a tight spinner with late action; future plus pitch. His slider comes to the plate in the 82-84 mph range with greater lateral movement. Spin rates for both pitches are in the 2500s. He's also able to subtract, mixing in a 82 mph high spin (2400 rpm) change of pace. It's a work-in-progress at this point in time but Misiorowski is a top three round talent. However, signability will determine whether he is ultimately selected this June in a shortened, five round draft.
