Misiorowski Makes MLB History with 100+ MPH Pitches

Misiorowski struck out 12 batters over seven innings against the Cardinals, limiting them to just one run on two hits and a walk. His 103.4 mph four-seam fastball to strike out Cardinals' DH Iván Herrera was the fastest pitch recorded since MLB began tracking such data in 2008.

The 24-year-old Brewers hurler now leads the majors in hit rate, strikeouts, strikeouts per nine, and has a 1.83 ERA. Milwaukee capitalized on his performance with a 5-1 victory over St. Louis, increasing their NL Central lead to 2.5 games. turconews.click
