Brewers Week 18 Review: Misiorowski Shines, Pratt’s Rookie Surge

In a week filled with standout performances, Jacob Misiorowski continued to assert his dominance on the mound, delivering two impressive starts against the Mets and Rockies. Over the course of nine innings, he struck out an astonishing 18 batters, showcasing his electric stuff. Misiorowski began Sunday’s matchup against Colorado with a historic seven-strikeout stretch, breaking the franchise record for the most strikeouts to start a game, previously held by Quinn Priester with six in 2025. He allowed just two runs—only one earned—on five hits and one walk, further solidifying his status as a key asset for the Brewers.

Meanwhile, rookie sensation Cooper Pratt made a compelling case for NL Rookie of the Month honors. He led the team this week with nine hits in 18 at-bats, boasting a .500 batting average. His performance included the first two home runs of his career, along with a double and six RBIs. Pratt also showcased his speed on the base paths, successfully stealing two bases, further demonstrating his all-around game.

Several other players also made notable contributions, including Andrew Vaughn, who hit two homers and posted a solid .313/.333/.750 line. Joey Ortiz added to the offensive output with seven hits, featuring two doubles, two triples, and a home run. Brice Turang also made his mark with eight hits, including a couple of doubles and a home run, while Luis Lara contributed four hits, three of which were doubles, driving in five runs. Additionally, Randy Wolf, a familiar name in the Brewers community, hit a pivotal two-run homer during the Brewers Alumni Legends Game, sealing a memorable moment for fans and players alike.
