Overview

  • Jacob Misiorowski threw a 105.5 mph fastball that Statcast recorded as tying the third-fastest pitch since tracking began in 2008.
  • That velocity came during a Brewers start that also extended a dominant run and helped Misiorowski improve to one of the league’s top starters.
  • On June 26, multiple outlets reported the 105.5 mph pitch and noted Misiorowski leads MLB with a 1.45 ERA and high strikeout totals for the season.
  • Statcast and Baseball Savant data show an unusually large volume of 100+ mph pitches and an exceptionally high whiff rate on his fastball, which analysts say makes it unusually unhittable.
  • Coverage frames him as a Cy Young frontrunner but repeatedly warns that the rare starter velocity and heavy use raise realistic injury and regression risks for the rest of the year.
