Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski Throws Fastest Pitch Ever by a Starting Pitcher in 15-Strikeout Complete Game Shutout
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski threw a 104.5 mph fastball against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday, the fastest pitch ever recorded by a starting pitcher in the pitch-tracking era (since 2008), while also striking out 15 batters in a complete-game shutout. The 24-year-old right-hander allowed only one hit — a fourth-inning single by Kyle Schwarber — in a 6-0 Brewers victory, completing the game on just 95 pitches, qualifying it as a 'Maddux.' The performance adds to Misiorowski's already dominant 2026 season, in which he leads the majors with 116 strikeouts and carries a 1.50 ERA, placing him firmly in the NL Cy Young conversation.
