During a game on Saturday, Rockies player Tyler Freeman was hit in the head by a 98.2 mph cutter thrown by Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski. This incident occurred in the sixth inning of the Rockies' 7-1 loss to Milwaukee, resulting in Freeman being immediately removed from the game for evaluation. Fortunately, Freeman was reported to be in good spirits afterward, with teammate Troy Johnston humorously stating, "They were talking about amputating his head, but I think they advised against that." Misiorowski, a 24-year-old pitcher in his second MLB season, had a record-setting night, throwing 45 pitches that reached at least 101 mph. His performance included a total of 52 pitches at 100 mph or more, second only to his previous record of 57 pitches against the Cardinals. Following the incident with Freeman, Misiorowski expressed concern, stating, "Obviously I don’t want that to happen ... lost the ball, lost grip on it." Despite loading the bases afterward, the Rockies were unable to take advantage of the situation, and Freeman was still undergoing evaluation postgame, not available for media comments.
