Watch: The Sound Of Paul Skenes Fastball Is Incredible

Freak of nature. Joe Burrow of college baseball. Greatest single college pitching season of all time.

That 2023 ride was great

frick I miss him already!

Freak of nature. He's this good in his rookie spring debut. Imagine how good he'll be in November.

If you think that is a “pop” you would think John Rocker was launching missiles to the catcher. I was probably 10-12 years old, and the “pop” of the catcher’s mitt still stands out in my memory. That was when I realized how big of a difference there was between the pros and everyone else.

Like chopping wood! Quite a few years ago I was above the bullpen in AZ with my son and we 'heard' Billy Wagner's FB whizzing through the air and hitting the mitt. It sounded just like Skenes' FB.

Did he come out of the bullpen?

Thats what you call power with location compact wind up uncoils like a Cobra .

He has a liv arm, Hitters are dun when they face him.

I can not wait until he is able to use his tremendous fastball with inside pitches to just OWN the plate!!

Got that POW

is that Olivia decked out in pirates gear sitting with his or her parents in the stands?

Hate to rain on your parade here but I can do the same thing catching my daughter's 50mph softball. He's a bad mofo but the snap is in the glove.

Every time I see him pitch, someone goes yard.
