Miz sets postseason record with 104.8 mph first pitch

Jacob Misiorowski established a new postseason velocity benchmark by delivering a 104.8 mph offering during the opening frame of the game. He followed that initial triple-digit missile with a 104.6 mph heater, eclipsing the previous playoff standard of 104.5 mph that had been established by Mason Miller during the prior autumn's wild card round against Chicago.

During a scoreless opening frame, the Milwaukee ace worked around a double by Manny Machado, retiring Fernando Tatis, Dustin Harris, and Ty France. Earlier in the campaign, the hard-throwing right-hander reached a career-high 105.5 mph against Pete Crow-Armstrong, while Miller and Misiorowski ultimately paced the majors in triple-digit fastballs throughout the regular season.
