Brewers righthander Jacob Misiorowski may or may not be the hardest-throwing starter in big league history, but he is producing that most inhuman numbers of the Statcast Era.

He opened against the Yankees with a 102.4-MPH hummer past Trent Grisham, and that was t:he slowest of his 10 pitches that inning:

  • Trent Grisham
    1. 102.4 MPH
    2. 103.0 MPH
    3. 102.8 MPH (Strikeout Swinging)
  • Ben Rice
    1. 102.7 MPH
    2. 103.2 MPH
    3. 103.3 MPH (Strikeout Swinging)
  • Aaron Judge
    1. 103.3 MPH
    2. 103.5 MPH
    3. 103.1 MPH (Only Ball)
    4. 103.6 MPH (Lineout RF)

He's of course never thrown more than six innings (and never fewer than five), and I'm guessing there is a 70% chance that he will suffer a devastating injury this season, and perhaps be a trivia question in five years, but in the meantime, he's the most ferocious show going.

Last year, he became the fastest player to make an All-Star team in big league history, being named to the National League squad (as a replacement for another selection) after only five games.
