Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski breaks brains and radar guns with hardest pitch ever by a starting pitcher
المصدر: Fox News | Source: Fox NewsThere's about to be a lot of focus on soccer for the next month, what with the World Cup getting underway, but MLB is scoring itself some heat by bringing some serious heat.
How does the fastest pitch ever thrown by a starter sound?
Well, we got it, and it came courtesy of Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski and that cannon he calls his right arm.

The Brewers hosted the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday, and at the top of the first inning, Misiorowski came up against Phillies leadoff hitter Kyle Schwarber.
The 2-2 pitch seemed to just catch the lower outside corner of the strike zone, with Schwarber getting a piece of it on a check swing, which was snagged and held onto by catcher William Contreras.
While Schwarber went ahead and started arguing about the call, everyone else's attention was preoccupied by the pitch's speed.

No, your eyes do not deceive you.
The scorebug did, in fact, read 105 mph.
However, the pitch was officially 104.5 mph, which was the fastest pitch ever thrown by a starting pitcher.
As hard as it was, though, there's a good chance Schwarber didn't notice it being much faster than any other pitch that at-bat. That's because all five pitches he faced were north of 103 mph, with the third pitch of the at-bat, a called strike, also hitting the 104 mark.
As impressive as it is, it's still quite a way off from the hardest pitch ever thrown in MLB history.
That record still belongs to Red Sox pitcher Aroldis Chapman.
Back in 2010, he was in his rookie campaign with the Cincinnati Reds when he threw a blistering 105.8 mph fastball.
Chapman also holds the No. 2 spot on the list, throwing a 105.7 mph fastball in 2016 while pitching for the Chicago Cubs.
