SEATTLE (AP) — Milwaukee prospect Jacob Misiorowski reached 100 mph with 10 of 18 pitches in Major League Baseball’s annual All-Star Futures Game. The 21-year-old right-hander topped out at 102.4 mph while striking out the side in a one-hit fourth inning during the National League’s 5-0 win over the American. His senior season at Grain Valley High School in Grain Valley, Missouri, was canceled because of the coronavirus in 2020. He went to Crowder College, was taken with the 63rd draft pick and signed for $2.35 million. He began this year with Class A Carolina and was promoted to High-A Wisconsin last month.
