Jacob Misiorowski keeps adding chapters to a season that already looks unlike anything MLB has seen.
On Tuesday night, the 24-year-old Milwaukee starter became the first pitcher in Major League Baseball history to top 1,000 triple-digit fastballs in a single season. As Jesse Rogers of ESPN wrote on X, “Jacob Misiorowski has now thrown over 1,000 triple digit fastballs in a season for the first time in MLB history,” adding that “The next most triple digit pitches in a season in the pitch tracking era (2008) was Jordan Hicks in 2018 with 659.”
By the time the night was over, Misiorowski had pushed that total to 1,010.
He backed up the milestone with another dominant outing against the postseason-bound Chicago Cubs. Misiorowski worked into the seventh inning, struck out nine, and gave up just four hits and one earned run. That kept his ERA below two while also padding his National League-leading strikeout total to 236.
Even with Misiorowski dealing, the game still turned into a grind. Milwaukee and Chicago were tied 1-1 heading into the ninth before the Cubs scored twice in the top half of the inning. The Brewers answered to force extras, then held Chicago scoreless in the 10th.
That set up Luis Lara to finish it off with a walk-off single in front of the home crowd. Misiorowski didn’t get the decision, but he left behind another line that only strengthens the case that this season is becoming his own kind of blueprint.

Wisconsin Fans Face A New Camp Randall Hassle As Demand Slips
Getting to Camp Randall Stadium is a little more complicated this fall, with the pedestrian route known as Badger Way shut down because of construction. Fans heading to Wisconsin home games will have to adjust their usual approach, and the traffic plan around the stadium will also tighten up on game days, with street closures on Breese Terrace and Monroe Street starting six hours before kickoff.
The added hassle lands at a time when interest is also showing some signs of softening. Wisconsin footballs 2026 season ticket sales are down 13.1% from the previous year, a dip that adds another layer to a stretch already marked by inconvenience for anyone trying to get into the stadium. For a program that has long depended on a dependable home-game atmosphere, even the walk to the gate feels a little different right now. [Read more 🡒]
Wisconsin Suddenly Has Several Badgers Worth Watching For NFL Scouts
After a tough season and a thin NFL draft class, Wisconsin at least gave scouts something to file away in Week 1 against Notre Dame. A handful of Badgers stood out in ways that matter at the next level, with Coleman flashing clean route-running and reliable hands, Cheeks disrupting plays as a pass-rusher and forcing a strip-sack, Cubberly bringing the kind of physical edge evaluators notice up front, and West uncorking a 70-yard punt that turned special teams into a calling card.
For a program looking to rebuild both its record and its reputation, those moments matter because they travel well beyond one Saturday. NFL teams are always searching for traits they can project, and Wisconsin suddenly has several players giving them something to consider as the fall unfolds. The challenge now is whether those early signs hold up once opponents have more tape, because a single strong opener can raise a profile, but sustained production is what really changes a draft conversation.

Former Badger Xavier Lucas Just Hit Another Rough Turn At Miami
Xavier Lucas second season at Miami has already taken an unwelcome turn. The former Badgers cornerback was injured in the Hurricanes first game of the 2026 season, and head coach Mario Cristobal confirmed he is expected to miss about a month, leaving Miami to juggle its depth in the secondary far earlier than planned.
For Lucas, it is another frustrating pause in a stretch that was supposed to be about building on his first year in Coral Gables. Instead, the injury interrupts his momentum before the season could really settle in, and it puts added pressure on Miamis cornerback room while one of its more recognizable transfer additions watches from the sideline.
