Jacob Misiorowski has been nothing short of stellar in his first full season with the Milwaukee Brewers.

Through 18 starts in 2026, the 24-year-old is 10-4 with a 1.62 ERA and 0.76 WHIP. He has struck out 167 batters while issuing just 27 walks over 111 innings. He is also holding opposing hitters to a .148 batting average. Misiorowski ranks first in MLB in ERA, WHIP and opponents’ batting average.
His phenomenal first half has solidified him as the clear frontrunner in the National League Cy Young award race. Despite the outstanding start to his career, however, the Brewers have yet to begin extension discussions with Misiorowski, according to MLB insider Robert Murray of FanSided.

While Misiorowski is only 33 appearances (32 starts) into his big-league career, he has wasted no time taking baseball by storm. Over the last 13 months since making his debut, the right-handed flamethrower is 15-7 with a 2.64 ERA and 0.94 WHIP across 177 innings. He has recorded 254 strikeouts against just 58 walks, good for a 4.38 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
It is also important to note that he is just 24-years-old and remains under team control through the 2031 season. Milwaukee has plenty of time to negotiate an extension. Even so, locking up one of baseball’s brightest young stars while his value continues to rise could prove beneficial.
In April, the Brewers signed top shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt to a pre-debut eight-year, $50.75 million contract extension. If Milwaukee was willing to make that type of commitment before Pratt reached the majors, it raises the question of what the Brewers could eventually offer Misiorowski, who has already established himself as one of the game’s elite pitchers.

However, managing his workload will remain a priority moving forward. Misiorowski was scratched from Sunday’s start against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to arm fatigue and will miss Tuesday’s All-Star Game.
While he is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday, he is not expected to start during Milwaukee’s first series after the All-Star break against the Miami Marlins.

The injury does not appear to be a major cause for concern, but the Brewers will be cautious with their young ace. Keeping Misiorowski healthy could become the organization’s top priority as Milwaukee looks to make a deep postseason run.
When “The Miz” is at his best, there are few pitchers more dominant. Milwaukee’s league-leading 3.40 starting rotation ERA, headlined by Misiorowski, has become the club’s biggest strength. It has also given the Brewers one of their best opportunities to reach the World Series for the first time since 1982 and just the second time in franchise history.
Although there has been no movement on extension talks, each dominant outing only strengthens Misiorowski’s case for what could eventually become one of the largest contracts in franchise history.
