Brewers starter Jacob Misiorowski has met or exceeded 103 mph on his fastball 28 times this season. Justin Edmonds / Getty ImagesBy The Athletic StaffJune 7, 2026 Updated 6:32 pm EDTJacob Misiorowski is seemingly breaking records every time he steps onto a mound these days — and they are often his own.That was again the case Saturday night in Colorado, where the Milwaukee Brewers right-hander set a velocity record for starting pitchers (since MLB tracking began in 2008) when he threw a 103.7 mph fastball in the bottom of the third inning.The record-breaker, which was low and outside to Colorado Rockies hitter Kyle Karros, clipped a trio of 103.6 mph pitches thrown by Misiorowski during a start against the New York Yankees just a month earlier on May 8. Misiorowski struck out 11 in six scoreless innings in an eventual win over the Yankees that day. He reached 103 mph three other times against the Rockies at Coors Field on Saturday.
“It is what it is,” Misiorowski told reporters after the game. “I’m going to keep going, trying to get strikeouts, and if that’s what it takes to get strikeouts, then so be it.”Misiorowski is responsible for 28 of the 30 pitches thrown 103-plus mph by starting pitchers since tracking began in 2008, and all 28 of those have come this season as the Brewers ace has posted 116 strikeouts over 78 innings with a 1.50 ERA and 0.81 WHIP.The Brewers have won six of Misiorowski’s last seven starts, and the right-hander had a no-decision in the one game Milwaukee lost. That included Saturday night’s start, which saw him go seven innings against the Rockies, allowing just four hits and one run at notoriously hitter-friendly Coors Field in an eventual 7-1 win.Misiorowski also walked three in the game, his most since an April 19 start at the Miami Marlins. While Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters after the game that he wasn’t surprised by his ace’s latest record-breaking pitch, he also emphasized the need to throw strikes.“We’ve got to get off that, the harder the better, and all that,” Murphy told reporters. “He’s got to throw the ball in the zone and throw his other pitches in the zone. As I say often, good hitters can time up anything.”Jun 7, 2026Connections: Sports EditionSpot the pattern. Connect the termsFind the hidden link between sports terms
