Overview
- Friday’s start produced a new Statcast single‑game mark of 47 pitches at or above 101 mph, a total that broke the record Misiorowski set two weeks earlier.
- Misiorowski raised the single‑pitch starter mark three times this month, reaching 103.6 mph on May 8, 103.7 mph on June 6, and 104.5 mph on June 12.
- Beyond velocity, he has been dominant: over a recent nine‑start span he struck out 87 batters while allowing one extra‑base hit and he leads MLB with a 1.45 ERA and 138 strikeouts in 14 starts.
- Brewers manager Pat Murphy praised the right‑hander after the latest outing, and reporters note Misiorowski has repeatedly logged the highest average four‑seam speeds and volume of 100+ mph pitches among starters.
- Statcast has tracked pitch speed since 2008, which makes the distinction between starter and reliever marks important because starters rarely sustain peak velocity over many innings and the next benchmark to watch is Aroldis Chapman’s 105.8‑mph all‑time high.
