Baseball’s Best Pitcher Put A Charizard Card In His Glove

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski is arguably the greatest pitcher currently playing in Major League Baseball, with a fastball he's thrown as hard as 105.5 MPH and incredible command.

When he's not https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaAOy8pY36c" id="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaAOy8pY36c">striking out 15 people in a game, however, he likes collecting Pokemon (and https://www.mlb.com/news/jacob-misiorowski-buys-baseball-cards-signs-own-card-for-young-fan" id="https://www.mlb.com/news/jacob-misiorowski-buys-baseball-cards-signs-own-card-for-young-fan">baseball) cards, and his new glove lets him show off one of the most legendary Pokemon ever.









Created by the company 44 Pro, Misiorowski's glove was made specifically for the All-Star Game, and in addition to a window in the webbing to store a glove--in his case, a Charizard--it also features a mix of orange, red, and yellow on the outside so it resembles the fire-breathing Pokemon.

In the past, 44 Pro made a https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXSTxdogXKR/?hl=en" id="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXSTxdogXKR/?hl=en">similar glove for him that featured Gengar.





You might be thinking, "Couldn't a hard-hit ball destroy the Pokemon card if it's hit right back at the Miz?" Probably, but fortunately for that Charizard card, Misiorowski will not actually be pitching in tonight's All-Star Game.

He chose to sit the game out because of where it lined up compared to his scheduled starts, and an arm-fatigue issue also forced him to skip his last start prior to the All-Star break.





What happened in that game without Miz on the mound?

The Pittsburgh Pirates completed a sweep of the first-place Brewers, putting up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOkIzCTg3kc" id="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOkIzCTg3kc">10 runs in one inning and seven runs before giving up even one out.

Despite this (and scoring the most runs in baseball so far this year), there is not a single position player from the Pirates represented at the All-Star Game tonight.
