Jacob Misiorowski is rewriting the record books on the mound, striking out 12 of the first 13 batters and setting a Brewers franchise record with 7 consecutive Ks to open the game. His arsenal is terrifying—66 of his 83 pitches hit 100+ mph, including a blistering 104.7 mph fastball, and he retired 14 batters in a row without allowing a baserunner, a feat last seen in 1920. He’s now MLB’s strikeout leader with 185, and even though he doesn’t believe in an “unhittable zone,” his command, extension, and elite velocity make him nearly impossible to square up. The Rockies finally got a hit—a home run off his 101.9 mph pitch, the fastest ever homered off a pitcher. Misiorowski’s workload is being carefully managed as the Brewers eye a postseason run, but he’s confident he can go deeper into games thanks to improved leg strength and mechanics.
