In 2015, his junior year, he went 5–4 with a 3.80 ERA in 18 games (eight starts). After the season, he briefly played collegiate summer baseball with the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League. The Seattle Mariners selected Misiewicz in the 18th round of the 2015 MLB draft.

He signed with the Mariners for a $70,000 signing bonus rather than returning to Michigan State for his senior year.

On August 6, 2017, the Mariners traded Misiewicz, Luis Rengifo, and a player to be named later to the Tampa Bay Rays for Mike Marjama and Ryan Garton. He was assigned to the Montgomery Biscuits. In 28 total starts between Modesto, Arkansas, and Montgomery, he went 11–6 with a 4.51 ERA.

After the season, the Mariners reacquired Misiewicz from the Rays for an international signing bonus slot. In 2018, he returned to play for Arkansas, pitching to a 3–12 record and 5.51 ERA in 21 starts. He missed nearly a month during the season due to injury. Misiewicz began 2019 with Arkansas before being promoted to the Tacoma Rainers. Over 26 games (24 starts), he went 9–8 with a 4.59 ERA, striking out 125 over 131 1⁄3 innings.
