Baseball world reacts to unbelievable performance by Jacob Misiorowski
On the one-year anniversary of his Major League debut, Jacob Misiorowski delivered a one-of-a-kind pitching performance, striking out 15 batters in just 95 pitches in a complete-game one-hitter and 6-0 win over the Phillies.
No pitcher has ever struck out that many batters in fewer than 100 pitches. The feat of a complete game in fewer than 100 pitches is known as a "Maddux," so named after Hall of Fame pitcher Greg Maddux, routinely known for his efficient starts.
