Overview

  • On Sunday, July 26, Jacob Misiorowski struck out the first seven hitters he faced, retired the first 14 batters and finished with 12 strikeouts across five innings in an 11-2 Brewers win over the Rockies.
  • Misiorowski threw 83 pitches with 66 at 100+ mph, a major-league‑era (Statcast, 2008‑on) record for the most 100‑mph pitches in a single game and with unprecedented totals at 101+, 102+ and 103+ mph.
  • Milwaukee removed him after five innings to protect his workload, a deliberate decision by manager Pat Murphy as the club manages Misiorowski’s innings with a postseason run in view.
  • The start left Misiorowski leading MLB with 185 strikeouts and an MLB‑best 1.58 ERA through roughly 120 innings, prompting outlets to cite him as an NL Cy Young frontrunner.
  • Outlets noted a historical claim that he was the first pitcher since 1920 or since the divisional era to post 11 strikeouts with no hits through four innings; that specific longer‑era comparison is disputed in the record books.
