Misiorowski Hits 200 K's, 2nd-Fastest in MLB

Milwaukee Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski became the second-fastest pitcher in MLB history to reach 200 strikeouts, achieving the milestone in just 129 1/3 innings pitched this season.

Only Atlanta Braves' Spencer Strider reached 200 strikeouts in fewer innings (123 1/3 in 2022). The 24-year-old Misiorowski continues his historically fast start, having already set multiple franchise records including most strikeouts in a single month (57 in May) and eight consecutive starts with eight or more strikeouts.

Misiorowski, who also holds the record for fastest MLB pitch at 105.5 mph, improved to 11-5 with a 1.63 ERA and 204 strikeouts on the season. His latest performance against the Colorado Rockies included seven straight strikeouts to open the game, making him the first pitcher since 1969 to record 11 strikeouts with no hits through four innings. musojam.blog
