Brewers, led by 'The Miz,' set highest average velocity record at 99.32 mph

The Milwaukee Brewers are taking the fastball to another level

Tuesday, in a 3-1 win over the Dodgers, they broke a major league record

when their four pitchers put up an average fastball velocity of 99.32 miles an hour

the highest average ever for a team in a single game. The quartet of Jacob Mizorowski, Jared Koenig, Abner Uribe, and Trevor McGill were throwing gas

The famous Lou Brown quote from Major League comes to mind. Forget about the curveball, Ricky. Give him a heater

In this scenario, Ricky Vaughn would be the 23-year-old Mizorowski, who is making just his fifth big league start

After surrendering a leadoff homer to none other than Shohei Otani, he shut down one of the best lineups in baseball

He clocked triple digits on half of his 42 fastballs and came out to an average of 99.7 miles an hour

He struck out 12 over six innings. Manager Pat Murphy said the kid is growing up quickly

That's the maturity we're talking about. That's why we, you know, in the back of my mind, I was like

hey, I want to win this game, but what an experience for Miz to go through this and face Freeman and Paz in a big big situation I mean that what it about The bullpen then did the rest Koenig Uribe and McGill allowed no hits and no runs In the final three innings McGill slammed the door with a perfect ninth

and had a top pitch of 101.3 miles an hour. In the other dugout, future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw watched

His matchup with Mizorowski was much hyped. Kershaw, who just reached 3,000 strikeouts in his career

apparently hadn't heard of the Miz, which led to this post-game exchange

You know, the 3,000 Ks, it's awesome to see a guy like that and match up against him

But, you know, I saw something online that he didn't know who I was, so I hope that he knows me now, you know

I know him now, huh? I mean, that was super impressive. Yeah, I mean, that was unbelievable

It was really special. I mean, everything. Murphy stressed that Mizorowski is learning how to pitch on the job

and getting better nearly every outing, posting a 4-1 record so far

Since his debut on the 12th, the Brewers have surged in the standings with a 17-7 record

It looks like the Dodgers will get another shot at those high-velocity heaters

right out of the All-Star break. The Miz should pitch one of the three games in Los Angeles when the Major League schedule resumes
