East Lansing, Mich. – Former Michigan State baseball player Anthony Misiewicz finished his first season in Major League Baseball (MLB) when the Seattle Mariners wrapped up the regular season over the weekend.
Misiewicz opened the 60-game season with the big league club and stayed with the Mariners through the end of the regular season. Seattle finished in third place in the American League West Division with a 27-33 overall record.
The rookie made his MLB debut on July 25, throwing 1.0 inning of relief and striking out one in an 8-2 loss at Houston.
Misiewicz finished the season appearing in 21 games, the most on the team. He had a 4.05 earned run average and struck out 25 batters in 20 innings, with an 0-2 record. Misiewicz also led the team with eight holds, which ranked among the top-20 in all of baseball.
When he made his debut, Misiewicz became the first MSU alum in the Major Leagues since A.J. Achter was with the Detroit Tigers in 2017. He was the 40th Spartan baseball player to reach the majors.
A native of Anchor Bay, Michigan, Misiewicz was a three-year letterwinner for MSU from 2013-15 and was selected by the Mariners in the 18th round (545th overall) of the 2015 MLB Draft.
The Spartan southpaw tied a career best with five wins (5-4) in a career-high 68.2 innings of work in 2015. Misiewicz posted a 3.80 ERA and held opponents to a .207 batting average - the second lowest on the team. He made 18 appearances, including eight starts. The lefty tied a career high with nine Ks in 6.1 innings of relief at Minnesota (May 15, 2015).
As a sophomore, he ranked second on the team with 29 appearances and held opposing batters to a .228 batting average - the sixth-best mark in the Big Ten. He ranked second on the team and fourth in the conference with 68 strikeouts.
In three seasons as a Spartan, Misiewicz was 13-12 with a 3.26 ERA and 146 strikeouts in 169.1 innings.
