What happened: FOX Sports' "Last Night in Baseball" roundup spotlights Jacob Misiorowski for breaking historic ground in velocity. The piece frames his fastball as the standout storyline among the night's performances. No box-score specifics for the outing are provided in this signal beyond the velocity angle.

Why it matters: Sustained elite velocity is what has made Misiorowski one of the most-watched young arms in the league, building on the radar-gun feats that earned him attention earlier this month. It matters for his trajectory as a starter, his strikeout upside, and the scouting conversation around how that velocity holds across a season. This is the same hard-throwing profile behind his 103.6 mph Statcast-era mark for starters.

What to watch: Watch whether the velocity holds deeper into starts and how it translates to strikeout totals over his next turns in the rotation.
