[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] Brewers fireball ace Jacob Misiorowski started in the first game of the National League Division Series today.

He accumulated 52 in the game and refreshed his personal record in the playoffs.

Michalowski faced the first batter Fernando Tatis Jr. at the start of the game. The first pitch drove a ball of 104.8 miles (approximately 168.7 kilometers), breaking the record for the fastest opening pitch in history. The second pitch also reached 104.6 miles. These two goals also became the fastest fireballs in the history of the playoffs, surpassing Padres closer Mason Miller. Miller holds the record for the fastest ball speed in the playoffs at 104.5 miles (about 168.2 kilometers).

Mischolowski started this campaign with 88 pitches in 4 innings, 60 of which were fastballs. However, the Padres swung the bat 28 times against his fastballs, but only 4 missed. The Padres hit a total of 30 foul balls in the first 4 innings, setting a record for the most foul balls in the first 4 innings of the playoffs since the pitch tracking system was launched in 2008. Michalowski threw a total of 52 fastballs over 100 mph, breaking the 31 he set in last year's playoffs and setting the record for the most 100-mph fastballs in a single game in the history of the major league playoffs.

Brewers head coach Pat Murphy said in an interview during the game that Mischolowski's ball power was amazing in the first inning, but his ball control was slightly wandering. Although the speed slowed down in the second inning, his ball control was still unstable. He was very worried about him at the time and was afraid that the game would get out of control. Fortunately, Mishorowski regained control of the ball and pitching rhythm in the 3rd and 4th innings, and did not lose any more runs.
