Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski set a World Series record by throwing a 103.5 mph fastball on his very first delivery in Game 1 against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. The 24-year-old right-hander allowed one run across five innings to earn his first postseason win as a starter, leading Milwaukee to a 3-2 victory in their first World Series appearance in 44 years.
Misiorowski broke Aroldis Chapman's previous record of 103.2 mph set in 2016 and topped the mark for most 100 mph pitches in a World Series game by throwing 38. He yielded four hits, one walk, and struck out three batters over 78 pitches before leaving the mound.
