Misiorowski appeared to be OK, but had to call it a night after seven scoreless innings.

Jacob Misiorowski is quickly becoming must-watch TV every time he takes the mound, and Wednesday night was no exception. The Milwaukee Brewers' flamethrowing phenom opened his start against the San Diego Padres by firing a 102.9 mph fastball to Jackson Merrill—just barely missing the low-inside corner. If that sounds like an unfair challenge for any hitter, you're right. But for Misiorowski, it was just the opening act.

The young right-hander proceeded to dominate over seven scoreless innings, racking up 10 strikeouts while surrendering just four hits. What makes this outing even more impressive is how he maintained his elite velocity deep into the game. On his 93rd and final pitch of the night, Misiorowski unleashed a 103.2 mph fastball to strike out Nick Castellanos to end the seventh inning. That's not just heat—that's historic. According to tracking data dating back to 2008, five of the seven fastest pitches ever recorded by a starting pitcher now belong to Misiorowski, including a blistering 103.6 mph earlier this month against the New York Yankees.

However, the night wasn't without drama. Misiorowski came out for the eighth inning but quickly called over the trainer while warming up. He walked off the mound under his own power and was even seen smiling during the conversation, suggesting the issue wasn't serious. It's worth noting he left a game earlier this month due to hamstring cramping, so fans will be watching closely for any updates.

Unfortunately for Milwaukee, Misiorowski's brilliance went unrewarded. Brewers relief ace Abner Uribe surrendered a three-run homer to Gavin Sheets in the ninth inning, handing San Diego the win. It was a tough end to what could have been a signature victory for the young star.

For baseball fans and gear enthusiasts alike, Misiorowski's rise is a reminder that the game's most electric moments often come from its hardest throwers. Whether you're tracking radar guns or just enjoying the show, this is a pitcher worth following every step of the way.
