The Milwaukee Brewers are absolutely tearing it up this 2026 season, already the first team in all of baseball to hit a mind-blowing 90 wins, and it looks like they are cruising toward 100. But while the whole squad is electric, there is one dude making history that has everyone talking: Jacob Misiorowski. This guy is the likely NL Cy Young winner, and he just made MLB history that is so wild, you will not believe it. In his last start against the Chicago Cubs, Misiorowski fired his 1,000th pitch of 100 mph or more. Yeah, you read that right.
Misiorowski’s Heat Is Breaking Records Starters Can Only Dream Of
Let us be clear: a thousand pitches at 100 mph or more in a single season is not just a good stat, it is an impossible one. As Jayson Stark of The Athletic pointed out, “of course, nobody has ever done this.” But the depth of this history-making feat is even crazier. Stark revealed that in the Statcast pitch-tracking era, which dates back to 2008, not a single other starting pitcher has even thrown 1,000 pitches at 100 mph or more in their *entire career*. Think about that for a second. For 18 years, no starter has hit this mark over their whole time in the majors, and Misiorowski just did it in one season! This is happening while his innings count is still lower than a bunch of other starters, too. It makes no sense, and it is absolutely unreal to watch.
He’s Out-Threw Entire Teams, Solo
The incredible context just keeps coming. When you throw relievers into the mix, guys like Mason Miller, Aroldis Chapman, and Jordan Hicks have reached 500 pitches at 100 mph in a single season. But none of them even got close to Misiorowski’s thousand. And here is where it gets truly unbelievable, courtesy of Stark again: “In fact, no team had ever touched 100 mph (or more) 1,000 times in a season until these Brewers got there last month.” Before this, the most 100 mph fastballs by any team was a mere 673, by the 2018 Cardinals, and every single one of those was thrown by Hicks, a reliever. Misiorowski, by himself, has accomplished something that no *entire team* in MLB history has ever come close to doing.
What an absolute legend. This guy is not just a flamethrower; he is rewriting the MLB record books in ways that seem impossible to break. This season is just getting wilder for Misiorowski and the Brewers, and with them pushing for 100 wins, you just know he is going to keep stacking those ridiculous stats. The rest of the league just has to watch him make history every time he steps on the mound.
