Jacob Misiorowski<\/a> didn\u2019t just dominate the New York Yankees<\/a> on Friday night. He made MLB<\/a> history doing it. The young Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> star delivered one of the most electric pitching performances baseball has seen in years during Milwaukee\u2019s 6-0 shutout victory, overwhelming Yankees hitters with a combination of power, velocity, and pure intimidation.<\/p>\n

\"\"A Dominant Performance on the Mound<\/p>\n

Misiorowski was nearly untouchable. His final line:<\/p>\n

Against one of baseball\u2019s best lineups, he looked completely in control from the first inning on.<\/p>\n

Velocity Unlike Anything MLB Has Seen<\/p>\n

The numbers behind the outing are even crazier. Misiorowski reached at least 103 mph on 10 different pitches during the game. Not once. Ten times. And his fastest pitch? A blistering 103.6 mph. That matters because it officially became the fastest pitch ever recorded by a starting pitcher since Statcast began tracking velocity in 2008.<\/p>\n

As insane as Friday night was, it\u2019s apparently becoming normal for Misiorowski. He now owns 11 of the 14 fastest pitches ever thrown by a starter in the Statcast era. That\u2019s absurd dominance in one of baseball\u2019s most terrifying categories. We\u2019ve seen relievers hit triple digits before. But starters? That\u2019s different.<\/p>\n

\"\"Opponents Have No Answers<\/p>\n

The Yankees entered the night as one of the top offenses in baseball. It didn\u2019t matter. Misiorowski overpowered hitters with elite fastball life, ridiculous velocity, and swing-and-miss secondary stuff. At times, it honestly looked unfair. The Brewers have developed elite pitching for years, but Misiorowski feels different. This isn\u2019t just good velocity. This is historically elite velocity paired with legitimate frontline starter potential.<\/p>\n

And if he continues to command it like he did Friday night, the rest of baseball is going to have a serious problem. Jacob Misiorowski didn\u2019t just throw a gem against the Yankees. He delivered one of the hardest-throwing starts MLB has ever seen. And at just 23 years old, the Brewers may have found baseball\u2019s next true pitching superstar.<\/p>\n
