Brewers Pitcher Breaks Own 103.7 MPH Fastball Record
Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski just threw the fastest pitch ever recorded by a starting pitcher at 103.7 mph, breaking his own month-old record. The 26-year-old ace is dominating the league with a 1.50 ERA while rewriting the record books one blazing fastball at a time.
Jacob Misiorowski isn't just throwing heat. He's rewriting what's physically possible on a baseball mound.
The Milwaukee Brewers right-hander set a new velocity record for starting pitchers Saturday night at Coors Field, unleashing a 103.7 mph fastball in the third inning against the Colorado Rockies. The pitch eclipsed his own record of 103.6 mph, which he set just a month earlier against the New York Yankees.
The record-breaking moment came on a low, outside pitch to Rockies hitter Kyle Karros. Misiorowski reached 103 mph three additional times during the same game, as if breaking records once per night wasn't enough.
Here's the truly mind-bending part: Misiorowski owns 28 of the 30 pitches ever thrown at 103-plus mph by starting pitchers since MLB began tracking velocity in 2008. All 28 of his came this season alone.
Why This Inspires
What makes Misiorowski's achievement special isn't just the raw speed. It's how he's channeling that gift into genuine excellence for his team.
The Brewers have won six of his last seven starts. Over 78 innings this season, he's struck out 116 batters while posting a microscopic 1.50 ERA and 0.81 WHIP. Saturday's performance was typical Misiorowski: seven innings, four hits, one run at notoriously hitter-friendly Coors Field in a 7-1 Milwaukee victory.
His attitude about breaking records reveals even more. "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."
Even Brewers manager Pat Murphy, while celebrating his ace's achievement, focused on continuous improvement. Murphy emphasized the importance of throwing strikes and mixing pitches, reminding everyone that sustained greatness requires more than just velocity.
Misiorowski's season represents something bigger than baseball records. It's about pushing human limits while staying grounded, about breaking barriers with humility, and about using extraordinary gifts to lift an entire team.
The kid with the rocket arm is just getting started.
