Jacob Misiorowski posts 57 Fastball pitches in MLB record

Jacob Misiorowski set an MLB record with 57 fastball pitches at 100 m.p.h. or faster. The Brewers pitcher did it in a game tracked in the modern era that began in 2008, and the number gives his outing a rare place in the record book.

Misiorowski and the 57 pitches

That total is the sharpest fact from the outing: 57 pitches at 100 m.p.h. or faster. Misiorowski reached a level of power pitching that no one in the tracking era has matched, and the record was framed against a system that has measured pitches since 2008.

For the Brewers, the headline is not a routine velocity note. It is a record attached to one pitcher’s arm in one game, and it turns a radar-gun number into the defining stat from the night.

Tracking era since 2008

The 2008 cutoff matters because that is when the tracking era began for the pitching record referenced here. Before that, there is no comparable data in this context, so Misiorowski’s 57 pitches sit inside the measured history that can actually be compared pitch for pitch.

That leaves the outing with a clean statistical edge: the record is not about one fast pitch, but the volume of them. Reaching triple digits once can draw attention; reaching it 57 times is the part that separated this performance from every other one in the source.

Sportsnet roundup context

The note on Misiorowski came inside a Sportsnet rapid roundup that also ran through the best 60 seconds in sports. That format tells you this was not a long game breakdown, but the record still stood out enough to anchor the segment.

The same roundup also mentioned the Astros combining for a no-no and Harper applying toothpaste weirdly, but Misiorowski’s record is the only result in that group with a direct statistical milestone attached to it. For readers tracking the Brewers pitcher, the number to keep is 57, and it already sits in MLB record territory.
