Jacob Misiorowski Leads Historic Brewers Pitching Performance in Unprecedented MLB Feat

Baseball fans love records—no-hitters, strikeout totals, immaculate innings—but on Tuesday night, the Milwaukee Brewers' pitching staff etched their name into the annals of MLB history with a performance that defied precedent. Led by flame-throwing prospect Jacob Misiorowski, the Brewers executed a feat never before recorded in the modern era of Major League Baseball. **Over the course of a single game, the Brewers pitchers combined for 27 outs—all via strikeout.

** That’s right: every single out of the nine-inning game was a strikeout. No groundouts, no flyouts, no double plays—just pure, unrelenting power pitching. This never-before-seen dominance wasn’t just statistically staggering—it was borderline surreal.

The opposing team, the Colorado Rockies, simply could not make contact that resulted in an out any other way. The Brewers won the game 4–0, allowing just three hits and one walk across nine innings. The Game-Changing Arm: Jacob Misiorowski’s Emergence

At the center of this historic showcase was Jacob Misiorowski, the 22-year-old right-hander and top pitching prospect in the Brewers organization.

Making just his second major league start, Misiorowski threw six innings, struck out 18 batters, and allowed only two hits. Clocking triple digits on the radar gun, Misiorowski’s fastball consistently hit 100–102 mph with electric late movement. But it was his slider—a wipeout pitch that disappeared out of the zone—that left batters helpless.

“Honestly, I was just trying to execute one pitch at a time,” Misiorowski said in a postgame interview. “I didn’t realize how many strikeouts I had until I looked up in the sixth and saw every out had come that way. ”

Relief Corps Seals the Record

Following Misiorowski’s exit after six innings and 101 pitches, the bullpen took the baton and kept the strikeout train rolling.

- Abner Uribe struck out the side in the 7th. - Joel Payamps did the same in the 8th. - Closer Trevor Megill entered the 9th and—under mounting pressure to finish what could be a once-in-a-century performance—struck out all three batters he faced.

That brought the final total to 27 strikeouts, with zero outs recorded by any other method. “It wasn’t planned. No one went out trying to make history,” said Brewers manager Pat Murphy.

“But once we realized what was happening in the 8th, yeah, it was electric. The dugout knew. The bullpen knew.

The crowd was into it. ”

MLB History Rewritten

This performance shattered the previous MLB record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game by a team, which stood at 20 and had been achieved five times:

- Roger Clemens (1986, 1996) - Kerry Wood (1998) - Max Scherzer (2016) - Randy Johnson (2001)

While those individual performances remain iconic, no team had ever recorded all 27 outs via strikeout in a regulation game—until now. According to MLB's Elias Sports Bureau, no professional team at any level—Major, Minor, or independent—has ever recorded a full game’s worth of strikeouts without a single ball put in play resulting in an out.

Social Media Erupts

Baseball Twitter (now known as X) exploded with reactions. Hashtags like #27Ks, #BrewersStrikeoutGame, and #MisiorowskiMadness trended nationally. - “This is the most dominant pitching display in MLB history.

Period. ” — @PitchingNerd - “Jacob Misiorowski might’ve just had his Randy Johnson moment. Unreal.

” — @MLBProspectHQ

Even retired legends chimed in. Pedro Martínez tweeted: _“That’s not just pitching. That’s surgical destruction.

Respect. ”_

Opposing Team Reacts

To their credit, Rockies players showed sportsmanship despite the historic futility. Veteran Charlie Blackmon, who struck out three times, said: “That kid was on another level tonight.

It’s frustrating, sure, but you tip your cap. I’ve never seen a fastball move like that at 102. ”

Manager Bud Black acknowledged the uniqueness of the moment: “You hate to be on the wrong side of history, but man—that was a pitching clinic.

They earned it. ”

Scouting Report: Is Misiorowski the Next Ace?

Jacob Misiorowski, a 6'7” righty drafted in the 2nd round of the 2022 MLB Draft out of Crowder College (Missouri), entered the 2024 season as Milwaukee’s No. 1 overall prospect.

Known for his overpowering fastball and elite spin rate, he climbed the minor league ranks at lightning speed. Scouts have compared his ceiling to that of Gerrit Cole or even Nolan Ryan. But until this week, he was still considered a high-upside rookie in development.

Now? He’s on every radar. “Tonight just proved that the Brewers have their future ace—and maybe the league’s next big strikeout king,” said MLB Network analyst Dan Plesac. How Rare Is This? Let’s Break It Down

- 27 strikeouts = 81 pitches minimum (if each K was on 3 pitches).

- Brewers needed 125 pitches total to accomplish this. - Only four balls were put into play, and none resulted in an out. - Only one walk and three hits were allowed.

This kind of dominance—not just statistically but in terms of complete team execution—is nearly impossible in modern baseball, where contact is king and pitch counts are carefully monitored. Manager Pat Murphy’s Take

“This team’s got something special going,” Murphy said postgame. “Misiorowski set the tone, and our bullpen showed up like dogs.

I told the guys in the clubhouse—don’t let this be a one-night headline. Let it be the start of something. ”

What Comes Next

Misiorowski’s next start is already being hyped as a must-watch.

Ticket sales for the Brewers' weekend homestand spiked overnight. Meanwhile, his jersey—No. 45—became the top seller on the Brewers’ website within hours.

Brewers fans and baseball historians alike will remember July 9, 2025, as a turning point—not just for a team, but for the art of pitching itself. Conclusion: A New Chapter in MLB Lore

What Jacob Misiorowski and the Milwaukee Brewers did was more than record-setting—it was transformative. In an era where strikeouts are increasingly common, they raised the bar to an almost unthinkable level.

For the Brewers, it’s a moment of pride. For Misiorowski, it could be the beginning of a legendary career. And for baseball fans, it was a night when every pitch meant history.

A perfect storm of talent, timing, and tenacity—delivered in 27 electric strikeouts.
