The Pittsburgh Pirates newest pitcher, Paul Skenes, is already halfway through the Minor Leagues as he is now being promoted to Double-A Altoona, with the expectation that he makes his debut on Saturday.
Skenes is the number three overall prospect according to MLB Pipeline, and has wasted no time showing why he was taken first overall in this years draft. In his three appearances between rookie level ball and Single-A Bradenton, the former Air Force Falcon and LSU Tiger has been nearly flawless, only allowing one hit, zero walks, and four scoreless frames.
It's happening.
