Jacob Misiorowski made his Major League Baseball debut for the Milwaukee Brewers amid much fanfare last June and proceeded to do things no one else in the history of the sport has done. The hard-throwing righty did not allow a single hit in his first 11 innings of work and announced his arrival with glove-thumping fastballs that reached 104 MPH. He was then added to the National League All-Star roster after five starts, the smallest body of work ever posted to earn such an honor.
So it wouldn't be entirely surprising if he continued to chart his own course by starring in a viral video where he actually used a real baseball to knock an apple off his teammate Cooper Pratt's head. Sure, it would have been an entirely unnecessary risk to life and limb for someone the Brewers are expecting big things for, but social views are very important.
