47 Pitches Over 101 MPH: Jacob Misiorowski Broke a Velocity Record, and the Brewers Still Fell 3-2 to Atlanta!

Alright, Seattle, listen up, because even if it wasn't our M's on the field last night, you gotta hear about Jacob Misiorowski. This dude, the Milwaukee Brewers' ace, was absolutely dealing, throwing fire against the Atlanta Braves. We're talking a mind-melting 104.2 MPH, the kind of heat that makes your jaw drop and your eyes water just watching it. He didn't just hit that number once, either. Misiorowski actually set a brand-new record, unleashing an insane 47 pitches at 101 MPH or higher, more than anyone since they started tracking in 2008! But here's the gut punch, the kind that makes you want to throw your hat: despite that historic, electric performance, his team, the Brewers, still ended up losing to the Braves, 3-2. You hate to see a gem like that wasted, even when it's not our guys.

This Guy's Arm is Just Different

Let's be clear, what Misiorowski did with his arm last night was on another level. He topped out at that absurd 104.2 MPH on a ball that was low and outside to Eli White in the second inning. That 47-pitch record over 101 MPH? He actually broke his own record, which was 45 pitches set back on June 6 at Colorado. The man also threw 54 pitches at 100 MPH or higher, showing just how consistently he was bringing the gas. This isn't just a one-off, either. Before last night's start, he was averaging 100.1 MPH on his fastball, which is the fastest ever for a starter in the entire pitch

-tracker era. And get this: he even hit 104.5 MPH in a previous start against the Phillies, a night where he threw at least 103 MPH a ridiculous 13 times. The talent is undeniable, folks. It's just incredible to witness.

A Tough Pill to Swallow

Even with all that heat, the Brewers just couldn't seal the deal. Misiorowski went six solid innings, giving up two runs on five hits and striking out seven. He was pulled with the Brewers trailing 2-1, and ultimately, they lost the game 3-2 to the Braves. This was actually the first time since April 25 that Misiorowski had given up more than a single run in a game, which tells you how dominant he's been. He was on an absolutely historic roll, having allowed just one earned run over 54 and one-third innings across eight starts. He even had a streak of 29 innings without allowing an earned run since May 25, but that ended with Mauricio Dubón's two-run single in the sixth inning. Because of those two runs, his major league-leading ERA saw a bump, going from 1.34 up to 1.45. What do you even do when your ace throws the ball that hard and still can't get the win? It's a tough one to process, but that's baseball, right? Misiorowski is clearly a special talent, and you just know he's gonna be back out there dealing heat again soon. For the Brewers, it's about bouncing back after a close loss, even with a pitcher hitting historic numbers. For us fans, it's just another reminder of the incredible athletes we get to watch every night, even if we wish it was always in the green and blue!
