It was just a couple of weeks ago that Milwaukee Brewers righty Jacob Misiorowski absolutely melted some brains by throwing a 104.5 mph heater past Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber.
That was an MLB record for the hardest pitch ever thrown by a starter, and it came after Misiorowski threw multiple pitches north of 103 and even 104 mph in the same at-bat.
Well, he’s at it again, and we may just want to start writing the record books in pencil, because this is probably not going to be the last time this happens.

The Brewers were taking on the Chicago Cubs, and it seems that Misiorowski is, perhaps unsurprisingly, at his best when it comes to velocity when he’s fresh.

Like Schwarber was earlier this month, Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong was in the leadoff spot.
He took the 0-2 offering from Misiorowski and fouled it off down the third baseline.
Of course, that’s not what was noteworthy. The noteworthy part was that the scorebug said the pitch was 105 mph.
Officially, it was really 105.5 mph.
To quote one Charlie Brown: “Good grief.”
A few curls a day, some deeper stretches and maybe a bowl of Wheaties, and I don’t think that there’s any doubt that Misiorowski can probably work up a pitch that is the hardest thrown by anyone.

That 105.5 mph pitch tied him with Ben Joyce of the Los Angeles Angels, who threw a 105.5 mph pitch back in 2024.
The two fastest pitches ever recorded belong to Red Sox pitcher Aroldis Chapman, who has thrown pitches of 105.7 and 105.8 mph.
