Misiorowski’s 100+ MPH Run Redefines a Pitcher’s Ceiling
Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski has been untouchable in May, posting a 0.29 ERA over 31 1/3 innings with 49 strikeouts, 11 hits and six walks, highlighted by a six-start stretch with 8+ strikeouts and no extra-base hits. His velocity is the story: he became the first pitcher in the pitch-tracking era to throw 50 pitches at 100+ mph in a game (57 at 100+ mph, 40 over 101 mph), with his fastball averaging about 99.7 mph (up to 100.7 mph recently). He’s the fastest to 100 strikeouts in a season since Spencer Strider (2023) and is among a small group to post 100+ Ks with 50 or fewer total bases in their first 11 starts, signaling Cy Young-caliber potential.
