Jacob Misiorowski might have been a little too excited to face the New York Yankees—and the results were nothing short of historic.
The Milwaukee Brewers' hard-throwing right-hander delivered the most electric first inning of fastball velocity baseball has ever seen. It's the kind of performance that leaves fans and analysts alike shaking their heads in disbelief.
To put it in perspective: Misiorowski's 10th-fastest pitch of the opening frame clocked in at 102 miles per hour. That's right—his "slowest" heater was still triple digits. The full sequence? A jaw-dropping 102, 103, 103, 103, 103, 103, 103, 103, 103, and 104 mph. Yes, you read that correctly.
While starting pitchers typically throw a tick slower than relievers to preserve stamina, Misiorowski breaks the mold. He's consistently among the game's hardest throwers, with his slider often touching the upper 90s. But this first-inning barrage against the Yankees was on another level entirely.
For the Milwaukee Brewers and their fans, seeing Misiorowski unleash that kind of heat is a thrilling reminder of the raw power reshaping modern pitching. You won't see a stretch like this very often—unless, of course, it's Misiorowski on the mound again.
