“He could be great, if he could only stay healthy.”What current or former MLB player comes to mind when you see that sentence? Current day Mike Trout of the Angels? Remember how great the Indians’ Grady Sizemore was to start his career before injuries derailed everything? How about one of the most famous examples, the Yankees’ Don Mattingly.

The Milwaukee Brewers drafted Misiorowski in the 2nd round of the 2022 MLB draft out of Crowder College, the same college that produced fellow Crew hurler Aaron Ashby.
