Jacob Misiorowski Breaks Two Aroldis Chapman Records In Game 1 Of World Series
The Milwaukee Brewers won Game 1 of the World Series behind five strong innings from Jacob Misiorowski
In Game 1 of the World Series, Milwaukee Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski shattered two records previously held by Aroldis Chapman. Misiorowski pitched five strong innings, allowing just one run despite his three strikeouts. He achieved this feat despite facing one of the toughest lineups in the postseason. The velocity of his pitches was particularly noteworthy.
His first pitch of the game reached 103.5 mph, surpassing Chapman's previous record of 103.2 mph set during the 2016 World Series. Misiorowski went on to throw 38 pitches at 100 mph or faster, breaking Chapman's record of 24 pitches in Game 5 of the 2016 World Series. Although Chapman still holds the record for the fastest pitch officially recorded at 105.8 mph, Misiorowski's performance sets a new standard for starters.
Chapman, nicknamed "The Cuban Missile," remains a dominant force, capable of still touching triple digits.
