MILWAUKEE — The Brewers had 11 days to figure out how to get the life back on the best fastball on the planet, the four-seamer of Jacob Misiorowski. They are confident they have found the answers in time for World Series Game 1 tonight.
Misiorowski’s induced vertical break, spin rate and whiff rate on his fastball have dropped in his two postseason starts. He did not make it through five innings against the Padres or Dodgers. In those games he had the two worst whiff rates on his fastball of his career (min. 45 fastballs, 13.8% and 18.5%).
