Fastest pitch in World Series history as Brewers win opener
The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 in the opening game of the best-of-seven World Series as both sides aim for their first title.
On the opening day of the 122nd World Series matchup between the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays, Jacob Misiorowski hurled the quickest recorded pitch in World Series history. The 24-year-old right-hander's fastball reached 103.5 mph, shattering the previous record set by Aroldis Chapman in 2016. Misiorowski played a crucial role in the Brewers' 3-2 home win over the Rays, limiting them to a single run over five innings. The sell-out crowd of 43,250 fans celebrated the Brewers' first World Series appearance since 1982.
