Jacob Misiorowski sets absurd MLB flame-throwing record in Brewers win

Nobody beats the Miz! Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski set an MLB record on Monday in Milwaukee’s 5-1 win over the Cardinals, throwing 57 pitches that reached at least 100 mph on the radar gun, making it the most by any pitcher in a single game since pitch tracking started in 2008. Misiorowski tied a career high with 12 strikeouts in the game and he became the first pitcher in Major League Baseball this season to reach the 100 strikeout mark.“That’s what I do,” Misiorowski told reporters after the impressive performance.“I throw hard.”Misiorowski reached 103 or higher on eight pitches in the first inning alone and topped the previous record holder by 10, which had been set by Reds pitcher Hunter Greene against the Cardinals when he threw 47 pitches hitting at least 100 mph. He was on the mound for seven innings and allowed just one run on two hits and only one walk. The Cardinals did not get their first hit of the game until the sixth inning when Pedro Pagés collected a single into right field. Pagés eventually scored on a groundout by Iván Herrera. Brewers skipper Pat Murphy called the outing “one of the best performances I’ve seen in a long time.” Misiorowski is 5-2 this season with a 1.83 ERA in 11 starts for the Brewers. He’s in his second season in the majors after making his MLB debut in June 2025, coincidentally, against the Cardinals.Misiorowski has only been getting better with every start since then and Brewers major league pitching coordinator Jim Henderson has seen it firsthand.“We’re seeing it happen before our eyes, so you start believing it,” he told MLB.com.
