Jacob Misiorowski of the Milwaukee Brewers threw 57 pitches at or above 100 mph in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals on May 25, setting a new MLB record since pitch tracking began in 2008 [1, 2, 3]. He reached a top velocity of 103.4 mph, including multiple pitches at 102 mph and higher [1, 2, 3].
Misiorowski pitched seven innings, allowing one run on two hits while striking out 12 batters. The Brewers won the game 5-1 [1, 2, 3]. His season ERA improved to 1.83 after the start [1, 2, 3]. The 96 pitches he threw included the highest number of pitches over 100 mph ever recorded in a single MLB game, surpassing Hunter Greene’s 47 in 2022 [1, 2, 3].
He also became the first pitcher in the 2026 MLB season to reach 100 strikeouts [1, 2]. Misiorowski credited his increased velocity partly to added lower body training during the offseason [1]. After the game, he said, “That's what I do. I throw hard,” adding, “I feel like that’s how it should be every day. I feel like that’s where I’m at. I feel like that’s just my normal.” [2, 3]
Brewers manager Pat Murphy praised Misiorowski’s performance, calling it “magnificent” and “one of the best performances I've seen in a long time.” He added the pitcher was not just throwing hard but truly knowing how to pitch, earning everything through hard work [1, 3].
Misiorowski’s scoreless innings streak ended at 29 1/3 innings when the Cardinals scored in the sixth inning [2, 3].
The Brewers will look to continue their winning form with Misiorowski expected to start his next game, aiming to build on his record-setting performance and strikeout milestones [1, 2, 3].
