Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski has broken onto the scene with a fastball that hits triple digits more often than not. Even back-to-back AL MVP Aaron Judge has been blown away by the right-hander’s signature pitch.

Judge had the opportunity to face off against Misiorowski on Friday . As soon as he saw his fastball, he knew the Brewers rising star was legit , via Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.
“That’s one of the best fastballs I’ve ever seen,” Judge said.
Misiorowski led the Brewers to a 6-0 victory over the Yankees , throwing six innings of scoreless baseball, allowing two hits and walks while striking out 11. Two of those strikeouts came from the bat of Judge, who went 1-for-4 overall. The next time he faces off against Misiorowski, the former MVP will know what to expect.
Whether or not he finds further success against the righty is yet to be seen. Through his first eight starts in 2026, Misiorowski holds a 2.45 ERA and a league-leading 70 strikeouts compared to 17 walks. He has at least nine strikeouts in his last four starts and has allowed two or fewer runs in his last two.

Milwaukee will be counting on their new ace to stay consistent throughout the entire season. He made the All-Star team in 2025 after a hot start. Yet, Misiorowski finished his rookie year with a 4.36 ERA.
In 2026 though, the right-hander has found a second gear. There is no doubting his fastball as it has become one of the scariest pitches in the league. If Misiorowski continues pitching at the top of his game, the Brewers become an even more frightening contender.
