Jacob Misiorowski continues to one-up himself.
Two starts after throwing the most 100 mph pitches by a starting pitcher in a game and one outing after setting the record for most pitches at 101 mph and above, the Milwaukee Brewers right-hander electrified in the first inning against the Philadelphia Phillies on June 12.
Thirteen pitches. Ten at 102 mph or faster. One at 104.5 mph, the fastest ever tracked by a starting pitcher. Three strikeouts.
Misiorowski began his evening by missing on a pair of 103.4 mph heaters to Kyle Schwarber, MLB's home run leader. He found the zone at 104 mph, his speediest bullet yet this year, and followed with 103.5 mph fouled back and a 104.5 mph dotted low and away that resulted in a foul tip for strike three.
The final pitch to Schwarber was Misiorowski's fastest of his career, surpassing a 104.3 mph dart to Kyle Tucker in last year's National League Divisional Series.
And Misiorowski was just getting going.
He took care of Phillies shortstop Trea Turner, who had plenty to say about Misiorowski's all-star selection a year ago, in four pitches, finishing him off with 103.5 mph fastball above the strike zone.
Misiorowski amped up two more heaters above 104 mph, clocking 104.2 and 104.1 mph, in a three-pitch undoing of Bryce Harper to end the inning.
