Jacob Misiorowski is doing things that no pitcher has ever done before.
The Milwaukee Brewers' right-hander is both setting velocity records and also simply being unhittable in a way that MLB has never seen.
Take this stat from MLB Network's Sarah Langs: In Misiorowski's last nine starts, he has struck out 87 hitters and allowed just one total extra-base hit (a double).
"He’s the only pitcher since at least 1900 with 60+ strikeouts and one or no extra-base hits allowed in a 9-game span," Langs writes.
Then there's this one, where Misiorowski keeps striking out hitters at uber-high velocity:
Most 101.0+ mph strikeouts as starter under pitch tracking (2008, including playoffs):
Jacob Misiorowski: 58
Hunter Greene: 29
Jacob deGrom: 11
Justin Verlander: 9
Misiorowski has 51 this year, more than any other SP in a career
MORE: 1 year later, new Rafael Devers trade rumors have arrived
And on this night, Misiorowski threw 54 pitches of at least 100 miles per hour, third-most since that has been tracked (behind just himself twice:
most 100+ mph pitches in a game, pitch-tracking era (2008):
Jacob Misiorowski: 58, 6/12/26
Jacob Misiorowski: 57, 5/25/26
Jacob Misiorowski: 54, 6/19/26
Jacob Misiorowski: 52, 6/6/26
Hunter Greene: 47, 9/17/22
Hunter Greene: 44, 3/30/23
Jacob Misiorowski: 43, 5/1/26
Jacob…
It's hard to really fathom all of this. Misiorowski will just casually throw a pitch 103 miles per hour deep into his outing.
He's on a totally different planet than everyone else, even in this era when almost every pitcher throws quite hard.
Misiorowski makes every other heater look just a little slower.
If he keeps doing this, it's hard to imagine anyone ever having much success hitting against him.
