Overview
- On May 25, Jacob Misiorowski threw a Statcast‑era record 57 pitches at 100 mph or faster, topped out at 103.4 mph, worked seven innings, allowed one run and struck out 12 to become the first pitcher this season with 100 strikeouts.
- Statcast data show the total eclipsed the previous single‑game mark of 47 set by Hunter Greene and included multiple pitches among the fastest strikeout throws recorded by a starter since 2008.
- Misiorowski’s 2026 numbers underscore the dominance behind the velocity with a roughly 1.83 ERA, a sub‑0.90 WHIP and a 100‑to‑19 strikeout‑to‑walk ratio through 11 starts.
- The pitcher and Brewers staff have highlighted offseason strength work and confidence in his upside, and Misiorowski has said he believes he can eventually reach 105 mph on the radar gun.
- Teams and analysts now face a tradeoff between exploiting a rare, overpowering starter and managing his workload because repeated maximal velocity deep into games increases concern about long‑term arm health and roster planning.
