Twitter hilariously reacted to Brewers' latest Jacob Misiorowski fake (or is it?)

The Milwaukee Brewers' social media team has separated itself from the pack this spring. After impressing throughout the 2025 season with above-and-beyond content that gives Brewers fans a unique look at their team, the social team has hit a new level during Spring Training.

From turning Sal Frelick into a video game character to the following video which was posted this morning, the Brewers' social media team continues to create unique content that takes advantage of the tools at their disposal in today's day and age.

However, the video that has gained the most traction on the internet in recent days was a clip of Jacob Misiorowski seemingly throwing one of his 100+ mph fastballs at an apple that sat on the head of top Brewers prospect Cooper Pratt. The video is obviously not real, but rather an impressive achievement of editing to make it look like Pratt is really putting his life at risk by sitting with his back turned to the flame-throwing Miz as the latter delivers a strike from the mound.

While the video itself is entertaining enough, the hilarious replies on social media make it even better. Brewers fans, opposing fans, and even those worried about the safety of folks who will try to replicate this video without the benefit of professional editing skills weighed in on the impressive feat that Milwaukee's social media team pulled off. Let's take a look at some of the best responses on social media.

Fans offer hilarious reactions to Brewers' stunning Jacob Misiorowski social media video

One of the better responses to the video comes from SNY MLB insider Chelsea Janes (@chelsea_janes), who formerly wrote for the Washington Post.

That said, Janes' response certainly requires some background knowledge. In the World Baseball Classic, teams can purchase insurance on their players -- if an injury is sustained during the international tournament, the financial burden that the team would otherwise endure due to missed time in the MLB season is lessened. However, insurance is often harder to come by for older, more injury-prone players. Recently, reports surfaced that while Carlos Correa was struggling to find insurance for the 2026 WBC, fellow Puerto Rican native Bad Bunny offered to cover the bill. Janes is alluding to this story, saying that to pull off this stunt in real life, the Brewers would have needed a rather pricey insurance policy that not even the international megastar Bad Bunny could afford.

Another hilarious reaction to the video came from sports betting analyst Jon Metler (@JonMetler), whose response on X gained more than 1.5 million views.

Metler's reaction alludes to the fact that for years, the Colorado Rockies have been two or even three steps behind the rest of the league. They've seemingly ignored the data boom that has infiltrated Major League Baseball in recent years, blindly following an outdated model that hasn't yielded any kind of success this decade. While that era of Rockies baseball might be over now that the team has hired Paul DePodesta, a key figure in Michael Lewis' book Moneyball (and the inspiration for Jonah Hill's character in the film adaptation), Colorado's previously ignorant way of doing business would lead them to try to pull off this stunt without any video editing.

The video also surprisingly led to some outrage from a Chicago-based media outlet that saw the lack of clarity regarding the fact that the video is edited as a real danger to society. The excellent social media account "not bob kozlowski" (@notbobkoz), which is well worth the follow for any Brewers fan, posted the following hilarious reaction.

Not only should it be pretty clear that Misiorowski wasn't actually throwing a 100+ mph fastball at Pratt's head, but shortly after the video came out, MLB.com Brewers' beat writer Adam McCalvy published an article clearly noting that the video was fake, just in case anyone was confused. McCalvy noted that the video was thanks to the brilliant minds of Ezra Siegel, Carter Green, and Cody Oasen, who are part of the Brewers' social media team.

The Brewers' social team continues to churn out incredible content, making it clear that they are the best in the game. Who knows what amazing feat they will pull off next?
