Overview
- The Brewers posted a Spring Training video on Feb. 24 that appeared to show Jacob Misiorowski knocking an apple off Cooper Pratt’s head with a fastball.
- Fans and outlets quickly determined the clip was edited, citing spliced ball movement and an apple that splintered before impact.
- The team’s tweet read, "Would you let The Miz throw a fastball at your head?" and included the video.
- The stunt drew wide attention to the 23-year-old right-hander ahead of his first full MLB season in 2026.
- Coverage spotlights Misiorowski’s elite velocity, unusually long arms and an extremely hard slider, alongside concerns about command after an All-Star nod following just five MLB starts last year.
