Deception + elite extension + an overpowering fastball = Jacob Misiorowski 🔥 Rich Hill breaks down The Miz's delivery a Via @MLBNetwork on X

What happened: Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski averages 101 mph on his fastball, No. 1 in MLB. Misiorowski owns the seven fastest pitches by a starter this postseason, topping at 104.8 mph.

Why it matters: Extension plus deception shortens reaction time beyond the radar reading alone. That combination gives Milwaukee a swing-and-miss weapon as postseason rotations shorten and contact quality decides games.

By the numbers: 101 mph average fastball; 104.8 mph postseason max; seven fastest postseason pitches by a starter in pitch-tracking era.

What to watch: His next October start shows how much Milwaukee leans on elevated heat early in counts.
