Brewers Pitcher Throws Fastest Starter Pitch Ever at 104.5 MPH
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski just shattered records with a jaw-dropping 104.5 mph fastball, the fastest pitch ever thrown by a starting pitcher in MLB history. The 22-year-old rookie made history in his first inning against the Phillies, throwing five consecutive pitches over 103 mph.
A baseball just screamed across home plate so fast it rewrote the record books and left everyone in the stadium stunned.
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski delivered a blistering 104.5 mph fastball on Friday night against the Philadelphia Phillies, officially recording the fastest pitch ever thrown by a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball history. The radar gun lit up at the top of the first inning when Misiorowski faced off against leadoff hitter Kyle Schwarber.
While Schwarber argued about the called strike, everyone else couldn't stop talking about the speed. The pitch initially flashed 105 mph on the scoreboard before being officially recorded at 104.5 mph.
What makes this feat even more remarkable is that it wasn't a one-time fluke. All five pitches Misiorowski threw to Schwarber during that at-bat clocked in above 103 mph, with another pitch also hitting the 104 mph mark.
The 22-year-old rookie's cannon of a right arm is making serious waves in his first season. Catcher William Contreras was there to snag the historic pitch after Schwarber's check swing made contact.
Why This Inspires
This moment represents more than just raw power. It shows what happens when young talent meets big league opportunity and delivers under pressure.
Misiorowski's achievement reminds us that records are made to be broken, and the next generation is always pushing the boundaries of what's possible. His consistency throughout that entire at-bat proves this wasn't luck but skill, control, and preparation coming together at the perfect moment.
For context, only relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman has thrown faster in MLB history, with pitches of 105.8 mph and 105.7 mph in 2010 and 2016. But relief pitchers typically throw shorter outings with maximum effort, making Misiorowski's feat as a starter even more impressive.
The young pitcher is proving that baseball's future is bright, fast, and full of exciting possibilities that keep fans on the edge of their seats.
