Paul Skenes is unlike any pitcher we’ve ever seen don a Pittsburgh Pirates uniform. His fastball, sprinkler, and slider mix arguably sits in the top five in all of baseball for any pitcher.
Especially as a starter pitching every five days and close to 100 pitches each outing, Skenes continues to establish himself as one of the best young pitchers in baseball and will, at some point this season (if not already), be regarded as the best pitcher in Major League Baseball.
He’s a generational talent with the full package of a 100 mph fastball and knee-buckling breaking pitches.
