Lighting up the Baseball Savant page like a Christmas tree in a scintillating performance, Brewers flame-throwing starter Jacob Misiorowski dismantled the American League's best lineup, blanking the Yankees for six innings while striking out 11 batters in Milwaukee's 6-0 win at American Family Field on Friday night.

Here's how he did it.

Misiorowski's near-perfect first inning

There's the famous phrase, “it's not how you start, it's how you finish.” But for pitchers, especially those facing a hot lineup like the Yankees', getting off to a fast start is paramount.

Misiorowski did that in more ways than one.

Like a champion prizefighter, Misiorowski came out throwing haymakers, as he set down the Yankees 1-2-3 on 10 pitches, all of them four-seamers. Seven of those pitches topped out at 103 mph or more; the other three were no slower than 102.4 mph.
