You don’t see many starts like the one Jacob Misiorowski put together on Friday night. In fact, you might never see one quite like it again.
On Friday night (exactly one year to the day after his major league debut), the Brewers’ 24-year-old flamethrower authored one of the best pitching performances in recent memory, dominating the Phillies for a complete-game one-hitter with 15 strikeouts in a 6-0 win. It’s the kind of outing that doesn’t just win a game; it makes you stop what you’re doing and watch history happen.

— MLB (@MLB) June 12, 2026Jacob Misiorowski Just Threw One of the Best Games You’ll Ever See
By the time Misiorowski strode out for the ninth inning, all 40,205 fans at American Family Field were on their feet, roaring for a young pitcher in the middle of something special. He finished it off the way he started it: overpowering. Ninety-five pitches, 74 for strikes, zero walks, and the minimum number of batters faced. According to ESPN Research, he became the first pitcher since 2000 to throw a complete game with 15 strikeouts on fewer than 100 pitches. Efficiency and dominance, all in one package.
Then there’s the velocity, which is where this start crosses from brilliant into the surreal. Misiorowski struck out eight of the first nine Phillies he faced, and he did it by throwing the hardest strikeout pitches the pitch-tracking era has ever recorded. He blew a 104.5 mph fastball past Kyle Schwarber (the fastest pitch ever thrown by a starting pitcher since tracking began in 2008). He got Bryce Harper swinging at 104.1 mph. He got Trea Turner at 103.5. Those are the three fastest strikeout pitches by a starter in the pitch-tracking era, postseason included. He punched out the side in the first, then got Brandon Marsh to open the second for four straight to begin the night.

Misiorowski struck out Turner and induced an inning-ending double play, meaning he still faced the minimum through nine. A clean line, one hit, and a building full of believers.
It was the first complete game by a Brewers pitcher since Brandon Woodruff did it against Miami in September 2023, and Misiorowski’s 15 strikeouts are the most by any pitcher in the majors this season. But the broader run he’s on might be even more staggering than any single number. He owns a 0.17 ERA over his last eight starts, and Friday extended his streak of consecutive games with eight-plus strikeouts and one or fewer runs allowed to eight, the longest such streak in MLB since at least 1893, per ESPN Research.
For Cubs fans of a certain age, a performance this overwhelming conjures memories of Kerry Wood’s 20-strikeout masterpiece in 1998, the gold standard for “best pitching performance you’ll ever see live.” Misiorowski’s night belongs in that same breath. Different uniform, different decade, same goosebumps.
A year into his big-league career, Misiorowski has already given baseball one of its signature performances. The scary part for the rest of the league? He’s just getting started.
