Brewers, Royals feature two of the top five MLB duos

Jacob Misiorowski and Kyle Harrison (Milwaukee Brewers)

Jacob Misiorowski and Kyle Harrison have set the tone as the most lethal one-two pitching duo. They have both made their mark in MLB history by recording at least 10 starts with an ERA under 2.00 while averaging over 11 strikeouts per nine innings. 

The Miz owns a 1.65 ERA and a 39.6 % strikeout rate (99th percentile), while Harrison has compiled a 1.57 ERA and a 31.9 % strikeout rate in the 96th percentile. 

Misiorowski has been an explosive flamethrower, consistently unloading 100-plus-mph fastballs at an unbelievable rate, and Harrison has used deceptive mound positioning to keep hitters off balance.

James Wood and CJ Abrams (Washington Nationals)

Both James Wood and CJ Abrams have combined to form an offensively dominant one-two duo for the Nationals. Both have unleashed consistent offensive production, with Wood owning an OPS+ of 164 and Abrams recording 156.

Abrams functions as a middle-of-the-order offensive spark plug, while Wood boasts a commanding OBP (.401) that fuels his strong opposite-field power at the top of the lineup.  

Abrams' proficiency with producing runs and Wood delivering elite exit velocities (96.1 mph average exit velocity) demonstrates their strong bat-to-bat skills.

Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez (Kansas City Royals)

Despite the Royals' inconsistencies with their offense and pitching, Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez continue to work to help resurrect the team. They both continue to stand as offensive weapons who offer wisdom and mentorship to a new young core this season. 

Witt also provides elite sprint speed ranking in the 100th percentile at 30.4 feet per second with a solid batting average of .281, along with Perez harnessing raw power (nine home runs) and his veteran experience. 

Perez and Witt also share a close bond with one another, with Perez almost acting as an older brother to Witt. You could say that Perez has helped to teach Witt the ins and outs of being a franchise cornerstone. 

Ronald Acuña Jr. and Matt Olson (Atlanta Braves)

Matt Olson and Ronald Acuña Jr. have solidified their reputation as one of MLB's most dangerous offensive dynamic duos. 

Olson serves as a reliable run-producer, while Acuña offers electric speed and power at the top of the lineup. As well as serving as a team anchor, Olson has crushed 17 home runs along with 47 RBI and a slugging percentage of .555. 

Despite setbacks with injuries early this season for Acuña, he has been a force to be reckoned with. His seven home runs, 14 stolen bases and .373 OBP have continued to establish him as a threat. 

Overall, they're a one-two punch that complements one another. Acuña's asset with getting on base provides Olson with consistent opportunities to cash in RBIs.

Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers (Athletics)

As one of the most riveting young duos in MLB, Nick Kurtz's MLB-leading OBP of .437 and Shea Langeliers' elite power (16 home runs) have made them an exciting partnership to watch. 

The Athletics contain a robust engine in their lineup, with reigning AL Rookie of the Year (Kurtz) and Langeliers consistently hitting back-to-back in the batting order. 

The duo has had several electrifying multi-hit games in unison, such as when they worked together to lead the Athletics to a 6-3 win over the Royals on April 30. The Athletics' victory was led by a four-run second inning with a two-run double from Kurtz and an RBI double by Langeliers.
