Misiorowski’s 103.7 MPH Record Powers Brewers’ Win Over Rockies

Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski threw a record 103.7 mph fastball—the fastest since tracking began—in a 7-1 win over the Rockies. It was one of 52 pitches in triple digits; Misiorowski went seven innings, allowing one run on four hits with eight strikeouts. Brewers manager Pat Murphy said velocity helps but must be in the zone, and MLB’s X account even cheekily referenced WWE rivals Danhausen and The Miz in relation to the moment.

Jack Bauer: The High School Pitcher with a 103 mph Fastball and MLB Draft Buzz

Kiefer Sutherland, famous for playing Jack Bauer on '24,' is a fan of MLB draft prospect Jack Bauer, a 103-mph-throwing pitcher. Sutherland finds it fun to root for someone with his character's name, while the young pitcher, who wears No. 24, is expected to be drafted soon and may choose between signing with an MLB team or playing college baseball. Sutherland's interest is partly inspired by his father's love for baseball.

Hunter Greene dominates as Reds shut out Cubs in no-hitter.

Hunter Greene led the Cincinnati Reds to a 9-0 win over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, striking out 11 batters and allowing only one hit in six innings. Greene's fastball was unhittable, regularly hitting 100 mph on the radar gun, and he effectively mixed in sliders that landed on the edges of the strike zone. The Cubs never threatened a rally, and they never even looked like they stood a chance against Greene on Friday.
