Misiorowski Throws 95‑Pitch Maddux With 15 Ks and 104.5 mph Fastball

Reshaping the NL Cy Young race, the outing prompted Phillies roster moves and a swift Philadelphia offensive rebound.

Overview

  • Jacob Misiorowski pitched a complete-game one-hitter for the Milwaukee Brewers, striking out a career-high 15 while throwing 95 pitches and facing the minimum in a 6-0 win.
  • He recorded a 104.5 mph fastball — the fastest pitch by a starting pitcher since pitch tracking began in 2008 — and delivered the four quickest strikeout pitches by a starter in that era.
  • Misiorowski’s 15 strikeouts are the most ever in a Maddux, a complete game of fewer than 100 pitches, and his recent eight-start run includes a 0.17 ERA that has drawn Cy Young attention.
  • The Phillies placed Adolis García on the 60-day injured list with a right lat tear and recalled Gabriel Rincones Jr., then answered the next day with a 17‑hit, 9-8 victory that kept the series alive.
  • The performance intensifies a headline pitching narrative, leaving Cristopher Sánchez scheduled to start the series finale and setting up an ongoing NL Cy Young duel with potential durability and workload questions to monitor.
