Jacob Misiorowski gave the Milwaukee Brewers a landmark performance Friday at American Family Field. The Brewers right-hander struck out 15 Philadelphia Phillies batters in a complete-game one-hitter. Milwaukee won 6-0. The start immediately entered the conversation as one of the most efficient dominant outings in MLB this century.

Misiorowski Rewrites the Pitch-Tracking Record Books in One Start

Misiorowski (8-2) threw 95 pitches against the Phillies on Friday. Misiorowski converted 74 of those pitches into strikes. Misiorowski did not issue a single walk on the night. The Brewers right-hander struck out eight of the first nine Phillies batters. Misiorowski faced the minimum number of batters despite the lone hit allowed, as the baserunner was subsequently retired without scoring.

Misiorowski reached 104.5 mph on the radar gun against Kyle Schwarber. Per ESPN Research, 104.5 mph is the fastest pitch by a starting pitcher since pitch-tracking began in 2008. Misiorowski consistently worked with elite velocity throughout the night. Misiorowski lowered his 2026 season ERA to 1.34 after Friday’s start. Misiorowski posted a 0.17 ERA across his previous eight starts. The right-hander’s 15 strikeouts lead all MLB pitchers in a single game during the 2026 season.

Per ESPN Research, no starter since 2000 had combined 15-plus strikeouts with a complete game on fewer than 100 pitches. Misiorowski achieved that mark on 95. The start extended Misiorowski’s streak to eight consecutive outings with eight-plus strikeouts and one or fewer runs. ESPN Research identifies that streak as the longest by any pitcher since at least 1893. No active pitcher in baseball has approached that level of sustained dominance.

Friday’s performance sharpens Misiorowski’s NL Cy Young case entering mid-June. Misiorowski’s 1.34 ERA leads all qualified MLB starters in 2026. The Brewers ace is on pace for one of the most statistically dominant first halves in recent NL history. Misiorowski leads the NL Cy Young field statistically at this stage of the 2026 season. Milwaukee’s rotation anchor could prove decisive as the NL Central playoff race takes shape this summer.

Misiorowski’s next start draws national attention as the Cy Young vote crystallizes. The Phillies managed just one hit against Milwaukee on Friday. Every additional outing from Misiorowski deepens an award case that no NL competitor has matched in 2026. The Milwaukee Brewers now hold the most dominant starting pitcher in baseball by ERA at the midpoint of June.
