MLB Game Recap
The Milwaukee Brewers secured a 6-0 win as Jacob Misiorowski tossed a complete-game one-hitter while facing the minimum 27 batters. A three-run home run from Jake Bauers in the fifth inning powered the offense. An RBI double by William Contreras in the first also contributed. The game was a masterclass in efficiency, lasting just two hours and four minutes without requiring a single bullpen arm.

Jacob Misiorowski (W, 8-2) finished with a historic line of 9.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, and a career-high 15 K on only 95 pitches. He struck out the side in the first inning using pitches clocked at 104.5, 103.5, and 104.1 mph—the three fastest strikeout pitches by a starter in the tracking era.

Deep Dive: Brewers Star Jacob Misiorowski’s 2026 Season By The Numbers
Jacob Misiorowski is putting together a 2026 campaign that statistically ranks among the most dominant in baseball history. He currently leads the Major Leagues in several categories, including ERA (1.34), WHIP (0.74), opponent batting average (.140), and strikeouts (131). His velocity has reached unprecedented heights for a starter, peaking at a tracked record of 104.5 mph, and he leads the sport with an average fastball velocity of 100 mph.
Over his last eight starts, Misiorowski has posted a 0.17 ERA, the lowest mark in such a span since earned runs became official in 1913. During this stretch, he has recorded 80 strikeouts while allowing only one extra-base hit. His peripheral stats are equally elite, featuring a 37.8% whiff percentage (98th percentile) and an MLB-best 2.23 expected ERA. Managers and teammates have noted a significant shift in his maturity. He has transitioned from a high-velocity thrower with command issues to a strategic pitcher. Now, he studies hitters. Friday’s “Maddux” performance was a shutout on fewer than 100 pitches. It sets a new tracking-era record for strikeouts in such a game. This cements his status as a frontrunner for the NL Cy Young Award.
Looking Ahead
Shane Drohan (3-1, 3.11 ERA) will take the mound for Milwaukee on Saturday against the Phillies. He will face veteran Aaron Nola (3-4, 5.86 ERA) with a chance to secure a series victory.
Jacob Misiorowski is no longer just a prospect with high velocity. He is currently the most terrifying force in professional baseball. What do you think?
