Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski didn’t just strike out the first seven Colorado Rockies on Sunday, setting a new franchise record; he also shattered his own mark for the most 100-mph pitches ever in a single game since tracking began in 2008. This guy was absolutely dealing, hitting 100 mph on a mind-boggling 66 of his 83 pitches, with his top velocity screaming in at 104.7. Seriously, what is even happening right now?
When 100 MPH is Just Another Pitch
Misiorowski was in a different zip code on Sunday, and it was pure heat. Before this latest outing, he had already set a personal best with 58 pitches over 100 mph during a 15-strikeout masterpiece against the Philadelphia Phillies on June 12. But he blew past that against the Rockies. The first inning was a preview of the madness, with Hunter Goodman swinging and missing at a 104.3-mph fastball after Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak also went down. TJ Rumfield, Kyle Karros, and even Cole Carrigg got the K treatment in the second. Willi Castro led off the third with a strikeout, too. This dude just kept piling on the Ks, mowing down 12 of Colorado’s first 13 batters! He retired the first 14 hitters he faced, an almost unbelievable run, before Carrigg finally broke the spell with a 361-foot, opposite-field homer to left in the fifth. And get this: Carrigg’s shot came off a 101.9-mph fastball, the 12th-fastest pitch to result in a homer in the pitch tracking era, and no Rockies player had ever homered off a pitch that fast. Even after the homer, Misiorowski still leads the majors with 185 strikeouts.
Shattering Records While Barely Breaking a Sweat
Misiorowski’s early dominance against the Rockies wasn’t just a Brewers record for consecutive strikeouts to start a game; he blew past Quinn Priester’s six straight from last year against the Angels. While he was three shy of the Brewers and MLB record for consecutive strikeouts at any point in a game , Corbin Burnes had 10 straight for the Brewers in 2021, matching legends like Tom Seaver and Aaron Nola , what Misiorowski is doing with raw velocity is simply insane. The two-time All-Star is absolutely eating innings this season, already hitting 120 frames after a 4-inning appearance against the Mets on Monday. He logged over 141 innings last year across all levels, including a postseason run to the NLCS. Even after all that, his ERA only slightly rose to 1.58, and he leads the majors in both innings pitched and strikeouts.
Misiorowski is a human highlight reel every time he steps on the mound. When this guy pitches, you just have to watch. What will he do next? Another record-breaking performance feels like it’s just around the corner.
