## Caption

The Instagram post shows the 70 fastest pitches ever thrown by an MLB starting pitcher in the entire pitch-tracking era.

But it’s basically just a Jacob Misiorowski ace of the Milwaukee Brewers collage. Out of the 70 fastest pitches ever recorded by a starting pitcher in MLB history, he’s responsible for the overwhelming majority of them. Not only is he at the top of the list, he’s all throughout it. Every spot is another Misiorowski fastball reaching a velocity that most pitchers only dream of touching once in their baseball careers.

What’s crazy is that this isn’t a reliever airing it out for 15 pitches. This is a starting pitcher who’s expected to throw multiple innings, face an MLB lineup several times, manage his pitch count, and still somehow throws harder than anyone who has ever stepped on a Major League Baseball mound.

Then you have Justin Verlander, one of the greatest power pitchers baseball fans have ever seen. A future MLB Hall of Famer. An MLB MVP. Multiple Cy Young Awards. A World Series champion. Verlander was the gold standard when it came to elite velocity from a starter, throwing pitches in the upper 90s miles per hour and touching triple digits deep into baseball games. Yet even a baseball player of his caliber only appears a handful of times compared to what the Miz has already done.

The St. Louis Cardinals pitcher who appears twice deserves recognition as well. In an era where starting pitchers rarely push velocity to these levels, getting your name here even once is impressive. Doing it twice puts you in extremely rare company with MLB legends.

Same for the Kansas City Royals starting pitcher. Out of every starting pitcher tracked over nearly two decades of pitch data, only a select few have ever thrown hard enough to make this graphic.
