Milwaukee Brewers' promising rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski is making waves both on and off the field—this time for his impressive collection of rare Pokémon cards. The 21-year-old athlete recently shared his passion for the iconic trading cards, revealing a childhood hobby that has now become a valuable investment.
A Unique Hobby for a Rising Star
While most MLB players focus solely on their athletic careers, Misiorowski has found a unique way to unwind—collecting coveted Pokémon cards. His collection includes some of the rarest editions, some worth thousands of pounds. "It's something I've loved since I was a kid," he admitted in a recent interview. "Now that I can afford it, I've been adding some serious pieces to my stash."
From Baseball Diamond to Trading Card Battles
Misiorowski isn't the only athlete with a soft spot for trading cards. Many sports stars, including NFL players and NBA rookies, have been known to invest in rare collectables. But for the Brewers' pitcher, it's more than just an investment—it's a nostalgic escape from the pressures of professional baseball.
"When I'm not training or playing, I love going through my collection," he said. "It reminds me of simpler times."
Could His Cards Be Worth More Than His Rookie Contract?
With some first-edition holographic Charizards fetching over £300,000 at auction, Misiorowski's hobby could one day rival his MLB earnings. While he hasn't disclosed the full value of his collection, insiders speculate it could be worth a small fortune.
For now, though, the young pitcher remains focused on his budding baseball career—with a little help from his pocket monster companions.
