As the Milwaukee Brewers gear up for the upcoming season, they're riding high on the momentum from last year's impressive journey to the National League Championship Series. Though their postseason run ended with a tough loss to the eventual champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Brewers have solidified their place as a formidable force in the National League.
Recently, a video featuring Brewers’ starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski made waves on social media. The clip shows Misiorowski seemingly launching a fastball at an apple perched on top of top prospect Cooper Pratt’s head. The daring stunt quickly captured the imagination of fans, racking up 7.9 million views on the Brewers’ official X (formerly Twitter) account.
For those wondering about the authenticity of this jaw-dropping feat, rest assured-it was all movie magic. The Brewers’ creative video team, including senior manager of digital content Ezra Siegel, senior videographer and creative lead Carter Green, and senior editor Cody Oasen, crafted the clip using clever editing techniques. This team has been innovating to engage younger baseball fans, and this viral moment is just one example of their creative prowess.
Fans can breathe easy knowing that Pratt, one of the Brewers' top prospects, was never in harm's way. And while the video was a fun spectacle, Misiorowski’s talent needs no embellishment. He’s already proven himself as one of baseball’s rising stars, playing a crucial role in Milwaukee securing the top seed in the National League last season.
With the regular season set to kick off in late March, the Brewers are putting the finishing touches on their spring training preparations. If last year is any indication, Milwaukee is poised to make another strong run, and fans have every reason to be excited about what’s to come.
