Ladies and gentlemen… at this point somebody needs to check if Jacob Misiorowski is actually human.
Forget drug testing. Check him for a rocket launcher.
Friday night against the Cubs, Milwaukee’s flamethrowing monster decided baseball wasn’t difficult enough, so he casually uncorked a 105.5 mph fastball to Pete Crow-Armstrong. Not only did it break his own record for the fastest pitch ever thrown by a starting pitcher in the Statcast era, it tied the third-fastest pitch EVER recorded.
Read that again.
Ever.
The only guys ahead of him? Aroldis Chapman…and Aroldis Chapman.
That’s it.
Even crazier? Pete Crow-Armstrong actually fouled it off.
I’m convinced his bat is now listed on the injured list with a bruised barrel.
The First Inning Looked Like MLB The Show On Rookie Mode
Misiorowski’s first three heaters?
103.1 mph.
104.3 mph.
105.5 mph.
That’s not a pitching sequence.
That’s a NASA countdown.
By the fourth pitch I was waiting for Houston to announce successful liftoff.
The Numbers Are Flat-Out Stupid
Through his first 16 starts this season, Misiorowski owns:
- 1.45 ERA
- Third-lowest ERA through a pitcher’s first 16 starts in the last 50 years
- 75⅓ innings before allowing his first home run
- Eight strikeouts Friday
- Regularly touching 102-105 mph
He even threw 102.8 mph on pitch No. 107 to strike out Ian Happ with the bases loaded.
Most pitchers are begging for oxygen after 90 pitches.
Misiorowski is apparently just getting warmed up.
But Wait…
How does “The Miz” stack up against two other electric young arms everyone is talking about?
Cam Schlittler
I love Cam Schlittler.
The Yankees should love Cam Schlittler.
His fastball sits around 96-99 mph, can touch 100, and his command has been outstanding. He’s got swing-and-miss stuff, a wipeout slider, and projects as a legitimate top-of-the-rotation starter.
But let’s be honest…
When Misiorowski is throwing 105.5, Schlittler looks like he’s throwing batting practice.
That’s not an insult.
That’s just physics.
Shohei Ohtani
Now before the internet explodes…
Shohei Ohtani is still the greatest two-way player we’ve ever seen.
His fastball generally lives between 97-100 mph, occasionally reaching 101-102.
His splitter is unfair.
His slider is nasty.
And oh yeah…
He also hits 50 home runs because apparently being great at one thing wasn’t enough.
But strictly as a pitcher?
Right now…
Jacob Misiorowski is making hitters look even more uncomfortable than Ohtani has this season.
The velocity isn’t even close.
The Stats Comparison
| Pitcher | ERA | Top Velocity |
|---|---|---|
| Jacob Misiorowski | 1.45 | 105.5 mph |
| Cam Schlittler | Excellent young starter with upper-90s heat | 100 mph |
| Shohei Ohtani | Elite pitcher when healthy | 101-102 mph |
One guy throws gas.
One guy throws premium gas.
Misiorowski?
He’s throwing jet fuel.
The Scariest Part?
After the game he said…
“Science says you can hit 108.”
EXCUSE ME?
Science?
When pitchers start quoting science after throwing 105, that’s when hitters start calling in sick.
I’m not ready to say Jacob Misiorowski is a better overall pitcher than Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani’s résumé is in another universe, and Cam Schlittler still has a chance to become a frontline starter for years to come.
But here’s what I am saying…
Right now…
Nobody in baseball makes you feel like you’re watching something that shouldn’t be possible quite like Jacob Misiorowski.
Every start feels like someone is about to invent a new speed.
Forget the radar gun.
Someone call Elon Musk.
Because I’m pretty sure Jacob Misiorowski isn’t pitching anymore…
He’s testing SpaceX engines on a baseball field.
And somewhere, hitters around Major League Baseball are looking at tomorrow’s probable starters and whispering…
“Please… anybody but The Miz.”

My name is Errol Marks and I’d like to tell you why I believe I can be a major asset to your station. I’m from a small town in Long Island, NY and from a very young age I’ve always had a love for sports talk radio. Growing up, I would listen religiously to shows like Mike and the Mad Dog, Mike and Mike, and Imus in the Morning and studied what made those shows so great. I’ve made it my goal to be as influential as the hosts I grew up listening to, and with my knowledge of all major sports, enthusiastic and fearless personality, and my preparation skills, I know I can get to that level. This is an art and a medium that I’m passionate about and one that I feel can never be replaced.
What makes my story so unique goes beyond my 10+ years of experience in sports media. In addition to over ten years of creating and hosting sports talk radio shows, I created the World Wide Sports Radio Network - one of the first ever digital sports radio networks - in 2012. Since the network began, we have had some of the best content in digital sports media. We have six quality shows on our network covering all sports and sports betting. I’m currently hosting New York’s Sports Loud Mouth, and you can find that show and the rest of our great shows at https://worldwidesportsradio.com/.
Our network’s content and listenership has grown significantly year to year and, in the past year, we’ve achieved 3.6 million minutes listened on our audio stream, over 29k followers on tik tok, 500k viewed on YouTube, 1.7 million downloads on Apple Podcasts, and 906,917 plays on Spotify. While we are enjoying a continued increase in growth, I feel that we can take this to a new level and a new audience with your help.
My goal since the day I started is to become the greatest and most recognizable sports radio show host in the country. I can guarantee that nobody in this industry currently has my passion, personality or ability to shape the future of sports broadcasting and entertainment like I do. If given the opportunity, I hope to further share my story and many talents with you and your station.
