Raleigh Durham, NC, October 23, 2026 —
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski set a World Series record for fastest pitch velocity with his first pitch of the Fall Classic, according to the information provided. The record was set on the opening pitch of the series.
The summary does not state how fast the pitch was, identify the opponent or game, or provide a date or location. It also does not specify what pitch Misiorowski threw, whether it was a strike, or how the velocity was measured. Those details are not available in the account of the record.
The information provided does not name the previous record-holder or give the prior record’s velocity, so the size of the increase cannot be determined from the summary. It also does not explain whether the record refers to all pitches in World Series history or to a narrower measurement category. No source or official confirmation is identified.
The account characterizes the pitch as the fastest in World Series history and says it came with Misiorowski’s first pitch of the Fall Classic. Beyond those points, it provides no details about the game or the circumstances surrounding the pitch. The record’s numerical velocity and the context needed to compare it with earlier World Series pitches were not provided.
