Jacob Misiorowski sets World Series pitch-velocity record with 103.5 mph first pitch

All four sources agree on the key facts: Jacob Misiorowski throws a 103.5 mph pitch, it occurs on his first pitch of the World Series/Fall Classic, and it is described as the fastest pitch in recorded history. The Independent is the only one provided here that adds the specific batter, Yandy Díaz, and ties the record to a Friday-night game context. Yahoo Sports keeps details minimal beyond the record and the impression that the performance aligns with expectations. Winnipeg Free Press also appears to rely on the same core record-on-first-pitch framing without additional matchup or extra particulars. No discrepancies in the reported velocity or the “first pitch” timing are indicated across the summaries.
