MILWAUKEE — The buzz leading up to Friday’s game at American Family Field was all about Spencer Jones.
The buzz, zip and pop during it was all about another 2022 draft pick: Jacob Misiorowski.
The Brewers flamethrower overshadowed Jones’ MLB debut, dominating the Yankees with an overpowering fastball and handing them a 6-0 loss in the interleague series opener.
Jones went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts and a walk, one of only four baserunners that Misorowski allowed across six shutout innings in which he struck out 11.
The Yankees (26-13) only mustered two hits off him — a pair of singles by José Caballero — as Misiorowski cooled off what had been a red-hot offense.
Max Fried, meanwhile, lost his command in a 40-pitch second inning and paid for it, giving up a four spot.
The left-hander went on to make it through six innings, but the damage was already done as the Brewers (20-16) leaned on Misiorowski.
After the Yankees selected Jones with the 25th-overall pick in 2022, the Brewers nabbed Misiorowski 38 picks later.
The 6-foot-7 right-hander made his MLB debut last season and has come out of the gates this year pitching like one of the game’s best.
In the first inning Friday, that included making some history.
Facing Trent Grisham, Ben Rice and Aaron Judge, Misiorowski threw 10 pitches to retire the side — striking out Grisham and Rice on three pitches each and getting Judge to fly out — five of which registered as the five fastest pitches recorded by a starter during the tracking era (dating back to 2008).
They came in at 103.6, 103.5, 103.3, 103.3 and 103.2 mph during an inning in which his slowest pitch was a 102.3 mph fastball.
