Jacob Misiorowski is having among the most dominant pitching seasons in baseball history. With a 1.45 ERA, the best ever save for 1968 Bob Gibson, Misiorowski is on pace for an all-time season.

Statistical Dominance

Misiorowski’s ERA is not the only impressive statistic. His FIP and SIERA are also among the best in the league, with a 1.24 FIP and a SIERA that would be third all-time behind 2014 Clayton Kershaw and 2002 Curt Schilling.

Misiorowski’s fastball is particularly unhittable, with a 44% whiff rate, the highest in the majors since at least 2023. He has thrown 47 pitches above 101 mph in a single game, a record for a starter, and has reached speeds of up to 105 mph.

Historical Context

Misiorowski’s season is being compared to some of the greatest pitching seasons of all time, including 1985 Dwight Gooden and 1999 Pedro Martinez. If he can sustain his current pace, he may be considered one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history.
