Jacob Misiorowski’s historic one-hitter against the Arizona Diamondbacks is a performance for the ages. The right-hander took the mound at Chase Field and proceeded to throw seven innings of one-run, five-hit baseball, striking out six and walking one in the process. Misiorowski’s mastery was on full display as he dodged and weaved through the Diamondbacks’ lineup, never allowing more than one runner to reach base in any given inning. The Chicago Cubs’ bullpen closed out the win in convincing fashion, securing a 2-1 victory for the North Siders. With this performance, Misiorowski has inserted himself into the conversation alongside some of the greatest one-hit wonders in MLB history, including the iconic Kerry Wood.
In a game that was dominated by pitching, Misiorowski’s one-hitter was the clear headliner. The right-hander’s command was sharp, and he was able to locate his fastball and slider to both sides of the plate with ease. The Diamondbacks’ offense, meanwhile, was unable to get anything going against Misiorowski, mustering just five hits in seven innings. The lone run scored by Arizona came on a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning, but Misiorowski was able to shut the door from there, retiring the side in order in the seventh. As the Cubs’ offense plated two runs in the eighth inning to take a 2-1 lead, Misiorowski’s one-hitter was all but sealed.
Misiorowski’s performance is a testament to the hard work and dedication that has gone into his development as a pitcher. The 25-year-old right-hander has been slowly but surely making a name for himself in the Cubs’ rotation, and this one-hitter is a major milestone in his young career. With his ability to locate his pitches and keep hitters off balance, Misiorowski has the stuff to be a perennial Cy Young contender in the years to come. For now, however, he’ll just have to bask in the glory of this incredible performance, one that will be remembered for years to come as one of the greatest one-hitters in Chicago Cubs history.
