Brewers-Rays World Series Preview Ranks 52 Players, Tabs Misiorowski for MVP
3 articles · Updated · ESPN · Oct 22
Summary
Jacob Misiorowski tops a 52-player ranking for the Brewers-Rays World Series, with the Brewers right-hander projected as the Series MVP and likely fastest arm.
100.6 mph average fastball drives that call: Misiorowski throws harder than any starter in baseball, while Tampa Bay’s Junior Caminero ranks No. 2 after hitting 87 homers over the past two seasons.
Drew Rasmussen sits No. 3 and could make up to three appearances for the Rays, while Milwaukee places Brice Turang, Jackson Chourio and William Contreras in the top six.
Superlative picks split the matchup’s standout tools: Trevor Megill’s curveball, Tyler Wells’ changeup, Caminero’s hardest-hit ball, Chandler Simpson’s top sprint speed and Turang’s defense.
The preview frames the Series as a clash of the two No. 1 seeds, with Milwaukee’s power pitching and Tampa Bay’s young impact bats shaping the matchup.
