Jacob Misiorowski made MLB history.<\/p>\n
The World Series is underway, and Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> ace Jacob Misiorowski<\/a> made history.<\/p>\n Misiorowski started the game for the Brewers in Game 1, and the hard-throwing right-hander made an impact right away.<\/p>\n The Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays<\/a> are both looking to win their first-ever World Series.<\/p>\n Jacob Misiorowski Makes MLB History<\/p>\n \n On the very first pitch Misiorowski threw in the World Series, he threw a ball to Yandy Diaz that clocked in at 103.5 MPH.<\/p>\n That meant Misiorowski threw the fastest pitch by a pitcher in World Series history.<\/p>\n Jacob Misiorowski\u2019s first pitch of the game at 103.5 mph is the fastest ever recorded in a World Series game (previous record: Aroldis Chapman 103.2 mph, Game 2, 2016) #WorldSeries<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cJacob Misiorowski\u2019s first pitch of the game at 103.5 mph is the fastest ever recorded in a World Series game (previous record: Aroldis Chapman<\/a> 103.2 mph, Game 2, 2016),\u201d Jon Heyman wrote on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a major milestone for Misiorowski, especially to do it on the first pitch. Yet, many expected the flamethrower to do it at some point this series.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, he also crushed the record for the fastest pitch by a starting pitcher in World Series history.<\/p>\n Jacob Misiorowski\u2019s first pitch tonight was the fastest recorded pitch ever thrown by a starting pitcher in a World Series game.<\/p>\n The old record was 101.1 MPH. \u201cJacob Misiorowski\u2019s first pitch tonight was the fastest recorded pitch ever thrown by a starting pitcher in a World Series game. The old record was 101.1 MPH. Misiorowski\u2019s pitch was 103.5 MPH!,\u201d Codify wrote on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n That record was held by Noah Syndergaard<\/a>, but Misiorowski crushed the record on the first pitch. He ended up throwing 1o of his 13 pitches over 101 MPH in a scoreless first inning.<\/p>\n Misiorowski went 16-5 with a 1.80 ERA in 30 starts<\/a> this season for the Brewers. In the playoffs before Game 1 of the World Series, he\u2019s 0-0 with a 2.89 ERA in 3 starts.<\/p>\n Milwaukee Brewers Add Veteran Pitcher to Roster<\/p>\n The Brewers did make a surprising decision ahead of Game 1 of the World Series.<\/p>\n Milwaukee put veteran pitcher Brandon Woodruff<\/a> on the roster, who last pitched in July. He was set for season-ending surgery in August, but he started to heal faster and now, after his rehab, he\u2019s on the roster.<\/p>\n \u201cI was very straightforward about that. So that was No. 1,\u201d Woodruff said<\/a>. \u201cI just wanted to win. I felt like I could help [us] win and give innings any way possible. That was the message. I did not want [sentimentality] to be factored into that.\u201d<\/p>\n Brewers manager Pat Murphy, meanwhile, said he\u2019s fine using Woodruff out of the bullpen or starting and is confident in his stuff.<\/p>\n \u201cAll the things that would go into having [him] come into a game, we have taken care of in terms of the warm-up, the preparation for him doing that; there\u2019s a lot going into it,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cHe\u2019s confident in it, I\u2019m confident in it; Matt Arnold is confident in it. And so we\u2019re looking at it as, \u2018OK, there\u2019s a possibility he could come into a game, and there\u2019s a possibility he could start a game.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Woodruff is a two-time MLB All-Star and has spent his entire MLB career with the Brewers, making his debut in 2017.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tCole Shelton<\/a> Cole Shelton covers the NHL, MLB, Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns for Heavy.com.
