Miz and Miller in same series? Postseason velocity records beware!

Baseball fans tuning into the upcoming postseason series are likely to witness an unprecedented barrage of triple-digit fastballs as the Milwaukee Brewers host the San Diego Padres for Game 1. Pitching standouts Jacob Misiorowski and Mason Miller led Major League Baseball in high-velocity deliveries during the regular season, raising the possibility that the historical postseason threshold for pitches exceeding one hundred miles per hour will be shattered.

The previous postseason high of fifty-six such pitches was established during a 2016 matchup, though last year's playoff series between the Brewers and Cubs came very close to that mark when Misiorowski contributed forty-one high-heat deliveries. Both athletes finished the regular season with stellar pitching statistics, combining low earned run averages with high strikeout totals as they prepare to anchor their respective pitching staffs.
