Jacob Misiorowski Dominates Cardinals With Electric 100 mph Heat and 12 Ks
Jacob Misiorowski electrified fans and overwhelmed hitters Monday night, powering the Milwaukee Brewers to a statement win over the St. Louis Cardinals. The young ace matched his career high with 12 strikeouts, held the Cardinals hitless into the sixth inning, and showcased a fastball that reached triple digits with jaw-dropping frequency.
According to ESPN, Misiorowski hit 100 mph or higher on 57 pitches—more than half of his total pitches that night. This level of velocity dominance is rarely seen in Major League Baseball, underlining Misiorowski’s reputation as one of the game’s premier power arms.
- 12 strikeouts, matching his career high
- No-hitter carried into the sixth inning
- 57 pitches at or above 100 mph
The Cardinals’ lineup struggled to make any hard contact, repeatedly overmatched by Misiorowski’s blazing fastball and sharp secondary pitches. Through the first five innings, he was untouchable, keeping St. Louis off the bases and in check as the Brewers built their advantage.
Misiorowski’s outing is part of a breakout season for the 24-year-old righty, who has quickly become the anchor of Milwaukee’s rotation. His ability to miss bats and overpower hitters has been a key factor in the Brewers’ strong start to the 2026 campaign.
While the no-hit bid ended in the sixth, Misiorowski’s performance was more than enough to silence a division rival and send a message to the rest of the league. Outings like this reinforce his standing as one of baseball’s most exciting young pitchers to watch, and his historic velocity is becoming a signature trait.
For fans and analysts, the combination of swing-and-miss stuff and the ability to sustain 100 mph heat deep into games is a rare spectacle, fueling hopes in Milwaukee for a deep postseason run built around their electric ace.
