What happened: Jacob Misiorowski made history on Friday night, firing a fastball clocked at 105 mph (104.5 mph Statcast) during the first inning against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 24-year-old right-hander used the record-breaking heater to strike out the leadoff hitter before finishing a dominant 15-strikeout, complete-game shutout on just 95 pitches.

Why it matters: The pitch officially breaks the record for the fastest delivery by a starting pitcher in the Statcast era, surpassing the 103.6 mph mark he established in early May. Misiorowski’s elite velocity has transformed him into the National League Cy Young frontrunner, leading the league in ERA and strikeouts as he continues his historic 2026 campaign.

What to watch: The series continues Saturday night at American Family Field. Shane Drohan is scheduled to start for the Brewers against Aaron Nola.
