Jacob Misiorowski, one of Major League Baseball’s premier flamethrowers, put on a blazing-fastball show and set a new single-game mark for high-velocity pitches.The Milwaukee Brewers’ right-hander started at St. Louis on May 26 and dominated: seven innings, two hits, one earned run and 12 strikeouts. Milwaukee won 5–1, and Misiorowski picked up his fifth victory of the season.The most remarkable figure was how often he crossed the 100-mph threshold. Misiorowski threw 57 of his 96 pitches at 100.0 mph or faster — more than half of his offerings — the most in a single game since MLB introduced its pitch-tracking system in 2008. The previous record was 47, set by Hunter Greene.His top velocity was 103.4 mph (166.3 km/h). Of the 100+ mph pitches he threw, 40 exceeded 100.7 mph (162 km/h).At 6 ft 7 in (201 cm), Misiorowski uses his long levers to generate a punishing four-seam fastball. His average four-seam sits north of 99.5 mph (160 km/h), his slider plays in the mid-90s at roughly 94–95 mph (about 152 km/h), and even his curveball comes in near 87 mph (140 km/h).He was the first pitcher this season to reach 100 strikeouts — notable for a player still in just his second big-league year.Scouts and analysts are already labeling him the next dominant \”fireballer,\” noting that he isn’t just throwing hard; he pairs elite velocity with command, spin and overall pitch quality. In an era defined by a velocity arms race, Misiorowski is standing out as a different level of threat.Photo = AP / Yonhap News
