## Pick 1: Jacob Misiorowski — MIL vs COL

RHP | 108 K on season | Coors Field

*108 K · 13.69 K/9 · 38.7% whiff · 1.65 ERA · 0.79 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate*

**Top K play tonight.** Jacob Misiorowski's 13.69 K/9 puts him in elite strikeout territory — the kind of arm that punches out a batter every nine pitches he's in the game. Tonight against COL he keeps adding to the season total.

The 38.7% whiff rate underneath confirms the stuff is real, not BABIP-fueled. The curveball (47.2% whiff) is the put-away offering when he needs it.
