There are probably a million things you could say about LSU pitcher Paul Skenes, but one thing is for certain: he’s a warrior.
Skenes has been arguably the best pitcher in college baseball this season. Skenes has a 1.77 ERA and leads the nation in strikeouts with 164 and is only 38 strikeouts away from breaking Ben McDonald’s single season record of 202. He also averages 17.03 strikeouts per nine innings, which also leads the nation.
After Skenes and LSU shut out Texas A&M 9-0 in College Station on March 17, Texas A&M head coach Jim Schlossnagle had nothing but great things to say about Skenes during his post-game press conference.
