MLB – July 2025: In a season full of turmoil and fierce competition, Jacob Misiorowski not only made Milwaukee Brewers fans crazy, but also made experts take their hats off when he dominated the No. 1 position in the NL Rookie of the Year race. With terrifying throwing speed, cool demeanor and unbelievable performance, Misiorowski is turning his rookie season into a “diamond storm” in MLB.
But what’s behind him? The breathless pursuit of young talent roaring like hungry beasts…
Jacob Misiorowski (Milwaukee Brewers): “The speed control monster”
Shocking with a fastball that peaked at 101 mph, Jacob not only stunned experts but also destroyed the psychology of veteran players. He has an ERA under 2.50 after more than 15 appearances – an unbelievable number for a rookie. His pitching system has been compared to the peak years of Justin Verlander and Josh Hader combined.
Drake Baldwin (Atlanta Braves): “The explosive that threatens the throne”
Never backing down, Baldwin continues to make an effort with every swing. With an OBP over .400 and the number of RBIs leading the rookies, he is making any ballpark he steps on wary. Misiorowski leads, but Baldwin only needs one big explosion to turn the race around.
Agustín Ramírez (Miami Marlins): “The Ghost of the Sea”
Known as the “Miami Ghost” for his ability to pop up with a dangerous homer, Ramírez is the type of player who makes opposing managers think twice before hitting a pitch. He has 14 HRs in just the first half of the season – and that’s just the beginning.
Hyeseong Kim (Los Angeles Dodgers): “The silent disaster”
Not as flashy as his rivals, Hyeseong stands out with his consistent and versatile performance. From hitting, running, defending to a steely spirit – the Korean player is gradually asserting himself as the “Asian version of Mookie Betts”.
Chad Patrick (Brewers): “Screaming like fire”
A surprising coincidence: The Brewers currently own two names in the top 5, and Patrick is the team’s tireless fighting machine. With his fiery personality, he is a huge source of energy from dugout to mound, making the opposing team tremble from the moment they enter the game.
Prediction of the battle?
Although Misiorowski has the upper hand, any slip-up could turn the Rookie of the Year race into a “never-ending battle”. MLB is waiting: Who will be the one to rise, and who will be the next victim in the “survival game of the newcomers”?
