Brewers Phenom Throws 56 Fastballs Over 100 MPH in Cardinals Showdown
The radar guns were flashing nonstop in Milwaukee and baseball fans may have just witnessed the arrival of one of the most overpowering young pitchers the sport has seen in years. Jacob Misiorowski, the hard-throwing Brewers right-hander known as “The Miz,” delivered a performance that completely took over this National League Central showdown against the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Brewers won the game 4-1, but the final score only tells part of the story. What everybody will be talking about is the velocity. Misiorowski threw 56 pitches at 100 miles per hour or faster across seven dominant innings. That is now a Major League Baseball record and it shattered the mark he had already set earlier this month. At one point, he was still throwing over 102 miles per hour deep into the seventh inning, which is almost unheard of for a starting pitcher.
And this was not just about speed. The control, the command and the composure all stood out. He finished with 12 strikeouts, allowed only one hit and kept the Cardinals lineup almost completely silent for most of the afternoon. St. Louis managed to break up the no-hit bid in the sixth inning and they finally scored to end Misiorowski’s incredible scoreless streak, but by then the Brewers already had control of the game.

Milwaukee’s offense gave him early support. Christian Yelich crushed a two-run homer in the first inning and the Brewers never looked back. But even with the bats producing runs, this game felt centered around one thing, raw pitching power.
What makes this performance even more important is the timing. The Brewers are sitting on top of the NL Central standings and the Cardinals are right behind them. This was more than just another regular season game. It was a statement inside one of baseball’s tightest division races. Milwaukee now looks like a team with not only momentum, but also a potential superstar leading the rotation.
For the Cardinals, there were still positives. Matthew Liberatore struck out 10 batters and kept his team competitive after a rough first inning. But every time St. Louis tried to settle into the game, Misiorowski’s fastball changed the entire atmosphere again.
Around baseball, there is already growing conversation about whether this young Brewers ace is becoming one of the most feared pitchers in the league. When hitters know a 102-mile-per-hour fastball could be coming at any moment, the pressure changes instantly.
This series continues with major playoff implications already building in May and if this matchup is any sign of what is ahead, the Brewers and Cardinals could be heading toward one of the most intense division battles in baseball this season.
