Overview
- Jacob Misiorowski delivered a Statcast-verified 105.5 mph fastball on June 26, 2026, a reading that ties Ben Joyce for the third-fastest pitch tracked since 2008.
- The pitch came in the opening at-bat at American Family Field to Cubs leadoff hitter Pete Crow-Armstrong, who fouled it off in an 0-2 count.
- Misiorowski entered the game leading MLB with a 1.45 ERA and 138 strikeouts, making the velocity milestone part of an otherwise dominant season.
- Only Aroldis Chapman has recorded faster Statcast readings (105.8 and 105.7 mph), and readings above 105 mph are rare and have mostly been recorded by relievers.
- The 105.5 mark both raises Misiorowski’s profile and puts new focus on how the Brewers manage his workload during a heavy pre–All-Star stretch and in Cy Young conversations.
