Jacob Misiorowski of the Milwaukee Brewers led MLB with 252 strikeouts and had the best qualifying ERA (1.80) and opponent batting average (.157), becoming the fourth pitcher since 1950 to lead all three in a season, according to MLB Network’s Sarah Langs.
The previous pitchers to accomplish the feat were Sandy Koufax (1965), J.R. Richard (1976) and Mike Scott (1986), according to Langs. Misiorowski’s final regular-season pitch was a 101-mph strikeout; he is set for playoff outings after the Brewers’ first-round bye.
