Jacob Mizorowski threw a 105.5 mile per hour pitch, tying for the third fastest since tracking began in 28, winning for the eighth time in nine decisions to lead the Brewers over the Cubs six to two on their fifth straight win.

The 24-year-old right-hander reached 105.5 miles per hour with his third pitch of the game, which Pete Crow Armstrong fouled off to the third base side.

He matched the 105.5 mile per hours of the Angels Ben Joyce, September 3rd of 2024, behind only 105.8 miles per hour by Araldis Chapman for Cincinnati in September of 2010, 105.7 miles per hour by Chapman for the Yankees,

on July 18th of 2016.

The Miz believes he could hit 108 before he possibly cools down a bit.

He allowed one run, two hits, and struck out a total of eight over six innings.

Garrett Mitchell and William Contreras hit two run home runs, helping the Brewers secure their fifth straight win.

MLB owners recently proposed banning high school players from signing with major league teams, which would be a huge change for the sport.

There are dozens of current MLB stars who started their professional careers as teenagers immediately after high school, including Pete Crow Armstrong, Mike Trout and Bobby Witt Jr.

Even more recently, Pirates Phenom Connor Griffin made his MLB debut at 19 years old.

The rise of NCAA

baseball as a training ground for prospects has made streamlining the minor leagues a realistic possibility.

In the 2025 MLB draft, 56 college players were selected in the top 90 picks.

Last year, Dillon beat Hamlin and kicked off a run to the final round of the five-race bracket-style tournament with $1 million at stake for the winner.

As the White Sox were slugging their way to a 22-1 victory over the Royals Friday night, former player Ron Kittle was getting married in a ballpark suite with Chicago chairman Jerry Rhinestorff officiating.

Kittle tied the knot with his girlfriend, Barbara, in Rhinestorff's suite during Chicago's 10 run third inning.

The White Sox went on to score their most runs since a 22 to 13 victory at Boston in May of 1970.

Harold Baines and Greg Walker, Kittle's teammates on the 1983 White Sox squad and their spouses also attended the quick ceremony.
