Jacob Misiorowski Makes History With Record-Breaking Fastball

Brewers Pitcher Misiorowski Dominates on the Mound

The hard-throwing starter surrendered just one run and four hits across five innings of work, recording three strikeouts before departing with a 2-1 advantage. Milwaukee ultimately preserved the victory to secure a 3-2 final score.

The opening offering was initially displayed at 103.4 mph on the stadium video boards, but Major League Baseball's Statcast tracking officially registered the velocity at 103.5 mph. This effort surpassed the previous Series benchmark set by Aroldis Chapman, who threw 103.2 mph for the Chicago Cubs during the ninth inning of Game 2 in 2016.

Shattering Velocity Standards

Throughout the outing, the young fireballer consistently reached triple digits, hitting 100 mph or higher with dozens of pitches and establishing new thresholds for starting pitchers in the championship round. Observers tracking his performance noted that his velocity throughout the season has continually rewritten Statcast logs.

While reports touched upon various aspects of his campaign—including discussions surrounding a potential Cy Young season—his latest postseason outing further cemented his reputation as one of the game's most electric arms.
