  "account": "Jacob Misiorowski, a pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers, has achieved an incredible velocity in his pitches, securing a top spot on the 2026 MLB leaderboard. According to Baseball Savant, Misiorowski averaged 100.6 MPH on his four-seam fastball, which is the highest mark of any starting pitcher. This exceptional speed sets him apart from other full-time starters, with the next closest being Pittsburgh's Bubba Chandler, who averaged 98.3 MPH.\n\nMisiorowski's arsenal isn't limited to just his fastball. He also throws the fastest cutter at 95.8 MPH, tied for the fastest slider at 91.8 MPH, and has the second-fastest changeup at 92.5 MPH among all pitchers. His 88.0 MPH curveball leads all starters. Misiorowski's consistent ability to throw pitches above 100 MPH resulted in 15 of the 18 fastest pitches in 2026, with 27 of the 34 pitches that reached 104 MPH or higher.\n\nAmong the pitchers who threw at least 1,500 pitches in 2026, Misiorowski's fastballs were the most frequent among the top speeds. He threw 105.5 MPH pitch on June 26, 104.8 MPH on October 3, 104.7 MPH on July 26, and 104.6 MPH on October 3. These records make Misiorowski a force to be reckoned with and a potential winner of the NL Cy Young Award in his first full season.",
