Misiorowski Shatters Starter Pitch Speed Record

Jacob Misiorowski just shattered baseball’s starting pitcher speed record again, clocking a 103.4 mph fastball to strike out Iván Herrera—now officially the fastest strikeout pitch by a starter since 2008. In under a year, he’s claimed six of the top 12 fastest pitches by starters since tracking began, including two in one game. He’s not done yet—he’s targeting 105 mph, inching closer to the all-time MLB record held by Aroldis Chapman (105.8 mph), though Chapman’s record is from relief pitching. Misiorowski already owns the fastest pitch ever thrown by a starter (103.6 mph) and is rapidly closing in on the 104 mph barrier—making him the most electrifying arm in the game right now.
