Jacob Misiorowski won’t get to flex on the All-Star Game this year, but that didn’t stop him from throwing heat on its red carpet.
For a second year in a row, the Milwaukee Brewers pitcher was suited up by custom menswear designer and stylist Tom Marchitelli, also known online as Gentleman’s Playbook. The three-piece suit − jacket, pants and vest − was in black chevron silk, Marchitelli − whose clients include big-time athletes − showed on Instagram. The blazer was lined with a bright paisley pattern. Misiorowski’s dress shirt and pocket square were both white.
Last year, the inside of Miz’s jacket was customized with a Lugia Pokémon. This year, his “favorite part” was the photo of his “little puppy,” Ember, on the interior pocket, he shared on MLB Network’s “All-Star Red Carpet Show.”
The red carpet was held at Independence Mall in Philadelphia on the afternoon of July 14 ahead of the ASG at Citizens Bank Park, which starts at 7 p.m. CT.
“Talk about a young man that has this boyish charm, but then you throw an unbelievable suit − I’m sorry − an unbelievable three-piece suit on this young man with boyish charm. And now, all of a sudden, wow, you’re a sophisticated man,” Greg Amsinger said, welcoming Misiorowski to the “Red Carpet Show.”
“Thank you, thank you,” replied Misiorowski, one of the event’s top spectacles.
“Smelling good too, man,” carpet co-host and former two-time all-star Harold Reynolds added, before asking Miz to walk them through his look.
Misiorowski told them he was sporting a “nice pair of black dress shoes,” and that Gentleman’s Playbook really hooked him up, pointing out an ASG logo on one side of the jacket’s interior and the Ember photo on the other.
“You know when he’s bringing it when his wife is smiling,” Reynolds said. “She’s excited about the look. And, she’s smiling. As soon as you said, ‘Woah, look at you in the three-piece suit, she had the biggest smile in the whole place. She picked it out probably, huh.”
“She did. She helped a lot, yeah,” Misiorowski replied.
Misiorowski sparked engagement speculation during the offseason, when he shared a photo on Instagram in January of a floral-manicured left hand with a breathtaking boulder on the ring finger with flowers in the background. He captioned the photo simply with a red heart.
On the carpet, Misiorowski’s longtime partner, Elle, wore a long sleek yellow dress, reminiscent of the iconic number worn by Andie Anderson (played by Kate Hudson) in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” − but updated.
While on the “Red Carpet Show,” Misiorowski was asked an array of questions, including if he still gets carded. His answer: “Yeah, a little bit. You know, here and now. Now and again.”
When asked if he felt like he had already played a whole season despite it only being the all-star break, Misiorowski said: “Yeah, it definitely does. It’s been a long one. But, it’s been fun. It’s been a lot of fun to play with my guys. And, we’ve had a lot of success. And, it’s been a great year.”
Facts. Misiorowski had one of the all-time greatest pitching months in baseball history in May, and in June, pitched one of the most dominant games − ever. He’s the first player in Brewers franchise history to be selected to the All-Star Game in each of his first two years in the majors.
What has Misiorowski learned from last ASG to this one that helped him go to the next level? To just have fun with it, be himself, “be one of the guys,” and not overthink everything, he told the hosts.
So, is Miz disappointed he won’t be pitching in the game?
“Give or take,” he said on the show. “Obviously, I’d love to pitch. Love to throw against the best. But, you know, at the same time, four days sounds amazing.”
One last one: Does Miz like walking the red carpet? He told the hosts it’s fun, a little overwhelming and “you kind of get done with it about halfway.”
The Brewers are also repped at this year’s Midsummer Classic by catcher William Contreras. This will be his third All-Star Game appearance.
He donned a double-breasted, pin-striped cream-colored suit with a mock neck in a lighter shade underneath, along with a pair of shades. He was accompanied by Níxzali Adames Luna, who he got engaged to earlier this year. She’s the sister of Willy Adames, the former beloved Milwaukee shortstop who now plays for the San Francisco Giants.
