Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski set a Major League Baseball velocity record during a 5-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday [1].
This performance marks a significant milestone in the era of pitch tracking, signaling a shift in how high-velocity arms can maintain elite speed over a full game. The feat establishes Misiorowski as one of the most dominant power pitchers in the current league.
Misiorowski threw 57 pitches at 100 mph or faster during the outing [2]. This total is a record for the most pitches at that speed in a single game since the tracking era began in 2008 [2].
In addition to the speed record, Misiorowski tied his career high by recording 12 strikeouts [2]. His dominance on the mound helped secure the 5-1 win for the Brewers at their home stadium [1].
The pitcher has focused on high-velocity delivery as part of a broader effort to join the 105 mph club [1]. By rewriting the record books for sustained velocity, Misiorowski is positioning himself as a central figure in the Brewers' rotation.
“Misiorowski threw 57 pitches at 100 mph or faster”
The ability to maintain triple-digit velocity for 57 pitches in a single game suggests an unprecedented level of arm strength and endurance. While many pitchers can hit 100 mph in short bursts, Misiorowski's volume of high-velocity pitches indicates a potential evolution in pitching efficiency and physical conditioning within the modern game.
