Brewers’ Misiorowski sets World Series pitch-speed mark at 103.5 mph
Jacob Misiorowski opened Milwaukee’s 2026 World Series run with a 103.5 mph pitch, the fastest recorded in the championship series during the pitch-tracking era. He became the second Brewers pitcher to start a World Series opener and worked five innings.
MILWAUKEE — Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski threw a 103.5 mph pitch in Game 1 of the 2026 World Series, setting the fastest World Series mark recorded since pitch tracking began in 2008, according to Major League Baseball.
Misiorowski made his World Series debut Friday at American Family Field, becoming only the second pitcher in Brewers history to start Game 1 of the series. Mike Caldwell was the first, in 1982.
Before the game, Misiorowski described the opportunity as an honor and said he hoped to help propel Milwaukee to a win. He threw 78 pitches over five innings.
The record-setting pitch added a milestone to the Brewers’ first World Series opener since 1982, putting Misiorowski’s velocity at the center of the night’s attention in Milwaukee.
