That's a record, as it turns out. According to Elias, the MLB record for fewest career games before an All-Star selection was 11 by Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates just last season. Misirowski didn't just break that record, he reduced it to smoking embers.

Jacob Misiorowski being named to the National League All-Star team on July 11 — that comes as a shocker.

On his five starts for Minnesota, he has gone 4-1 with a 2.81 ERA. He has averaged 99.3 mph (160 kph) on his fastball, with 89 pitches reaching 100 mph (161 kph).
