In a thrilling display of power pitching, Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski showcased his talent on Saturday night, dominating the Colorado Rockies with electric velocity. Among his impressive feats was a record-setting pitch clocked at an astonishing 103.7 mph, a remarkable achievement for a starter. However, the evening took a concerning turn in the sixth inning when a wild 98 mph fastball struck Rockies infielder Tyler Freeman directly in the helmet.
The impact left both players visibly shaken, and Freeman required medical attention on the field before exiting the game. Despite the frightening moment, he was able to walk off under his own power, providing a sigh of relief for fans and teammates alike.
After the game, Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer offered an optimistic assessment of Freeman’s condition. “He took it about as good as I think anybody can take 101 (miles per hour) off the helmet,” Schaeffer remarked, as reported by the Denver Post. “Obviously, it didn’t feel good, but he seems fine.” The incident underscored the inherent risks of the game, even amidst the excitement generated by Misiorowski’s powerful performance.
