Misiorowski’s 57 100-MPH Pitches Shatter Records in Brewers’ Win

May 25, 2026 — Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski etched his name into baseball history Monday, throwing 57 pitches of at least 100 mph during a 5-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. The performance, the most 100-mph pitches in a single game since pitch tracking began in 2008, surpassed the previous record of 47 set by Cincinnati’s Hunter Greene in 2022.

Setting the Tone: A Record-Breaking First Inning

Misiorowski’s dominance began immediately. In the first inning alone, he fired 8 of 13 pitches at 103+ mph, according to an Instagram post by MLB. The Brewers’ social media team highlighted the feat, noting the 24-year-old right-hander’s ability to consistently reach triple-digit velocities. “Jacob Misiorowski dialed it up in the first inning! 8 of his 13 pitches were 103+ MPH,” the post read, garnering 68,000 likes within minutes.

The Cardinals’ hitters struggled to adjust. Misiorowski’s first-inning command set the tone, as he allowed just one hit and one walk in seven innings. His fastball, which reached a season-high 103.4 mph three times, became a weapon against a St. Louis lineup that had entered the game with the National League’s third-highest batting average.

Statistical Mastery: A Career-Defining Game

Records from the game show Misiorowski threw 96 pitches, 57 of which were clocked at 100 mph or higher. Of those, 40 reached 101 mph, 22 hit 102, and 9 topped 103. His nine strikeouts on 100+ mph pitches tied the single-game record set by Greene in 2022. The Brewers’ official game summary noted that Misiorowski’s performance “was a masterclass in velocity, and precision.”

Misiorowski’s 1.83 ERA improved to 1.83 after the outing, the second-best in the NL among pitchers with 50+ innings. His 12 strikeouts matched his career high, and he extended his scoreless innings streak to 29 1/3, ending only when Pedro Pagés’ sixth-inning single allowed a run. The Brewers’ offense, meanwhile, provided ample support, scoring five runs on seven hits.

Context and Legacy: A New Benchmark in Pitching

The 57 100-mph pitches mark a significant milestone in the evolution of baseball analytics. Since pitch tracking began in 2008, no pitcher had approached this level of sustained velocity. The previous record of 47, set by Greene, had stood for nearly four years. Misiorowski’s achievement underscores the increasing emphasis on fastball velocity in modern pitching, a trend that has reshaped how teams evaluate and develop talent.

“This is a testament to Jacob’s preparation and physicality,” said Brewers manager Craig Counsell in a post-game interview. “He’s one of the most electric arms in the league, and tonight, he showed why.”

What It Means for the Brewers and the NL

The win improved Milwaukee’s record to 28-22, moving them into a tie for second place in the NL Central. Misiorowski’s performance also boosted the Brewers’ playoff hopes, as they now sit just 2.5 games behind the division-leading Chicago Cubs. His ability to dominate with pure velocity gives the team a unique weapon, particularly against National League opponents who have struggled to adjust to high-90s fastballs.

For the Cardinals, the loss extended their losing streak to four games. St. Louis now faces a critical stretch, with upcoming series against the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies. Their ability to counter pitchers like Misiorowski will be key to their postseason aspirations.
