Brewers' 3rd round selection has shades of Jacob Misiorowski

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski is rightfully the talk of Major League Baseball right now. The 23-year-old rookie just pitched in the All-Star Game despite having just five career MLB starts under his belt. However, coming out of junior college as a second-round pick back in 2022, hamstring and meniscus injuries, command and mechanics concerns, and having an "at best above-average slider" had scouts labeling him a work in progress.

Fast forward three years from Misiorowski's draft day, and the Brewers may have a déjà vu signing in third-round selection Jacob Morrison. He's a 6'8" hurler (an inch taller than The Miz) who has already undergone Tommy John surgery — mirroring the injury concerns that Misiorowski had coming out of JUCO.
