Baseball friends, don’t sleep on this pirates rookie Paul Skenes.

In his 2nd major league appearance, he’s:

  • thrown 6 innings of no-hit ball (he’s on a pitch count, done for the day)
  • got 11 strikeouts
  • ended his day throwing pitches of 99mph and 100mph

Skenes is special. ⚾️

@davemark I saw him pitch during the NCAA tournament last year. Just completely insane stuff. I haven’t seen a slider like that in a minute and on top of 100mph heat.

@skoobz that tournament is on my bucket list. Amazing you got to see him pitch before he went pro. Lifetime memory.

@davemark Wait til he blows out his arm. Unfortunately this is what's happening to most good pitchers these days. 😔

@davemark if anyone was sleeping on Skenes, can they call themselves a baseball fan?Watched him last year at LSU and then he goes first pick. He’s a phenom!

@Phreba He’s my favorite pitcher since Strasburg.
