Jacob Misiorowski passes Randy Johnson on historic strikeout list
Misiorowski reached the milestone in 129.1 innings, trailing only Spencer Strider on MLB’s fastest-to-200 strikeouts list.
- On Sunday, August 09, 2026, Milwaukee Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski recorded his 200th strikeout against the Minnesota Twins at American Family Field, becoming the second-fastest pitcher in MLB history to reach the milestone in 129.1 innings.
- Misiorowski has made a major jump forward this season, serving as the anchor for the Brewers' pitching staff with an 11-5 record across 21 starts and a league-best 1.63 ERA.
- Atlanta Braves pitcher Spencer Strider remains the only pitcher to reach 200 strikeouts faster, doing so in 123.1 innings in 2022, while Misiorowski surpassed his entire previous season's workload with this performance.
- The Brewers hold the best record in baseball at 73-44, leading the Chicago Cubs by 5.5 games in the NL Central, with a four-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers starting Thursday.
- To protect a young arm, teams traditionally add 20% to 30% to a pitcher's previous total, and with seven weeks remaining in the season, Milwaukee plans to tailor his usage based on his physical condition.
