Brewers' Pitchers Make History! Jacob Misiorowski Leads the Charge!
The Milwaukee Brewers just achieved a feat never before seen in Major League Baseball, thanks in large part to the blazing fastball of rookie Jacob Misiorowski. In their recent 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Brewers' pitching staff showcased unprecedented velocity, averaging a staggering 99.32 mph on their fastballs. This marks the highest single-game average for any team in the pitch-tracking era (since 2008).
Record-Breaking Velocity
The Brewers' dominant performance was fueled by a quartet of arms: Jacob Misiorowski, Jared Koenig, Abner Uribe, and Trevor Megill. Each pitcher contributed to the record-breaking average, leaving fans and analysts in awe. The previous record, 99.30 mph, was set by the New York Mets in 2021, featuring Jacob deGrom.
Misiorowski's Electrifying Start
Jacob Misiorowski set the tone for the game, consistently hitting triple digits with his fastball. During his six innings, he averaged 99.7 mph and struck out 12 Dodgers hitters. An incredible 21 of his 42 fastballs reached 100 mph. "It’s so satisfying. It’s just a dream come true to do what I did," Misiorowski said after the game. "It’s awesome that it was against the Dodgers. No words for it.”
Adding to the excitement, Jacob Misiorowski has been named a National League All-Star replacement after just five starts for the Brewers. This gives the hard-throwing rookie a chance to break Paul Skenes' record for the fewest big league appearances before playing in the Midsummer Classic. Misiorowski has quickly become a sensation, averaging 99.3 mph on his fastball and throwing 89 pitches that have reached 100 mph.
The Brewers' pitching performance against the Dodgers underscores the increasing emphasis on velocity in modern baseball. With young talents like Misiorowski leading the charge, the team's future looks bright.
