Jacob Misiorowski delivered a historic performance on June 12, 2026, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies at American Family Field. Striking out 15 batters and allowing just one hit, Misiorowski faced the minimum 27 batters, with the only baserunner, Kyle Schwarber, swiftly erased by a double play.

His performance marked the first recorded 15-strikeout Maddux, defined as a complete game on fewer than 100 pitches. Misiorowski's 95 pitches not only set a record for strikeouts in a Maddux but also showcased his extraordinary efficiency. Notable past performances include:

• Clayton Kershaw: 13 strikeouts (July 9, 2017)
• Tarik Skubal: 13 strikeouts (May 25, 2025)
• Carlos Carrasco: 12 strikeouts (Sept. 17, 2014)

Misiorowski's velocity was astonishing, hitting 100 mph on 58 occasions and peaking at 104.5 mph. He achieved the four fastest pitches recorded by a starting pitcher since the pitch-tracking era began in 2008. This season alone, he has thrown the 26 fastest pitches by a starter, leaving others far behind.

His 100 Game Score stands out as the highest in Brewers history, surpassing Corbin Burnes' previous best of 95. Misiorowski's recent form is nothing short of dominant, allowing no more than one earned run in his last eight starts, boasting a 0.17 ERA and 80 strikeouts over 54 ⅓ innings.

With this performance, Misiorowski has firmly established himself as a leading contender for the NL Cy Young award, continuing to redefine the standards of pitching excellence.
