History

Historical Context

After Nolan Ryan logged baseball’s first verified 100-mph fastball and a 383-strikeout record in 1974, legends like Steve Dalkowski and Aroldis Chapman later pushed perceived limits beyond 105 mph. On June 13 2026, rookie Misiorowski matched that trajectory, delivering a 104.5-mph, 15-strikeout shutout, showing how each velocity breakthrough reshapes scouting and pitching strategy.
