Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski sets MLB record with 57 pitches above 100 mph
Jacob Misiorowski fired 57 pitches at 100 mph or faster, an MLB record that turned Milwaukee’s 5-1 win into a radar-gun spectacle.
Jacob Misiorowski did more than overpower the St. Louis Cardinals. He turned velocity into a record, throwing 57 pitches of at least 100 mph in Milwaukee’s 5-1 win, the most in a game since MLB pitch tracking began in 2008.
The Brewers’ 24-year-old right-hander struck out 12, matching his career high, while allowing two hits and one walk over seven innings. The previous mark for 100-mph pitches in a single game was 47, set by Cincinnati’s Hunter Greene against St. Louis on Sept. 17, 2022.
Misiorowski’s fastball profile has become its own subplot in baseball’s power era. He reached 101 mph on 40 of his 96 pitches and improved to 5-2 with a 1.83 ERA. He also became the first pitcher in MLB to reach 100 strikeouts this season, underscoring how quickly his stuff has moved from intriguing to overpowering.
“That’s what I do. I throw hard,” Misiorowski said.
The outing fit a larger pattern that has made Misiorowski one of the sport’s most watched arms. Earlier in 2025, he threw a 102.7 mph strikeout pitch, the fastest strikeout pitch by a starter since pitch tracking started in 2008. In June, his first career matchup with Paul Skenes drew a standing-room-only crowd at American Family Field, where Misiorowski opened with a 100.3 mph first pitch and delivered 12 triple-digit pitches in the first inning alone.
By the time he reached the postseason in October 2025, the radar readings had already become part of the show. In his playoff debut, Misiorowski threw 31 of 57 pitches at least 100 mph, with 12 at 102 mph or higher, a preview of the kind of power that now defines his profile.
Against the Cardinals, that power became a number few pitchers can touch. MLB.com noted that Misiorowski hit 103 mph or more eight times in the first inning and finished with 57 triple-digit pitches, 10 more than any other pitcher had logged in a game during the pitch-tracking era. For Milwaukee, it was a win. For baseball, it was another benchmark in the sport’s escalating velocity race.
