Jacob Misiorowski's 12-strikeout game had MLB fans in awe of his historic velocity
Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski has already overpowered hitters all season with the kind of velocity that shouldn't even be possible from a starter. On Sunday, he somehow managed to take that to another level. In the Milwaukee's game against the Rockies, Misiorowski put together the kind of performance that Brewers fans will be bringing up for years to come. Misiorowski retired the first 14 batters he faced, and 12 were via strikeouts. He struck out the first seven batters of the game. Through four innings, he had 11 strikeouts. It was unreal.And as if that wasn't enough, his velocity numbers looked like something out of a video game. Misiorowski threw 66 fastballs on Sunday. All 66 of them were in the triple digits, and 33 pitches hit at least 103 mph. He has an actual rocket for an arm. 103.4 MPH Fastball103.2 MPH Fastball104.3 MPH Fastball91.3 MPH Curveball104.5 MPH Fastball104.1 MPH Fastball103 MPH FastballJacob Misiorowski struck out the first 7 batters with pure heat pic.twitter.com/5neQFMra9M MLB (@MLB) July 26, 202612 up, 12 down, 11 KsJacob Misiorowski has ELEVEN strikeouts through four innings pic.twitter.com/XuS8xHYl1b MLB (@MLB) July 26, 2026The lone hit that he allowed was a solo home run to Cole Carrigg in the fifth inning. In all, Misiorowski went five innings and struck out a franchise-best 12 batters. Understandably, fans were in awe of the performance. The velocity numbers were just silly. How social media reactedPlease understand that no pitcher in recorded baseball history had thrown more than 14 pitches at 103+ MPH in one big league game....and that Jacob Misiorowski threw THIRTY of them in the first 4 innings today. https://t.co/hsu9jsf2xc Codify (@CodifyBaseball) July 26, 2026This is what it looks like when a guy throws 66 fastballs and every single one of them is in triple digits. The average: 102.8 mph. pic.twitter.com/gHYDflRuhg Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 26, 2026Jacob Misiorowski had 13 Pitches over 103 mph in the 1st inning.Mason Miller (hardest throwing closer in MLB) has 11 pitches over 103 this entire season.
