He was a decent mid-week starter for Tennessee IIRC.

I know it’s a limited sample size but he seems even more dominant than he was in college at LSU.

I don’t remember where I saw it, but I saw a stat that the ten fastest recorded pitches so far this season in MLB were all from Skenes. I hope his elbow can hold up to that kind of stress. Some people are just built different and I hope he is one of them.

And on the next at bat he homers off Skenes. Let’s not call him Nolan Ryan just yet.

I think it was something where 9 of 10 of the fastest pitches thrown by a starter were by Skenes, but I think this was only after either his 1st or 2nd start. Skenes is already scary, but he should only get better as the season goes on.

If I slept with Livvy every night I'd be more worried about how my dick holds up than my elbow

I guess my memory is shot, he “only” has 7 of the 10 fastest pitches. Still insane.

I think he’s definitely one of those people. It really seems like it’s effortless for him, as in he’s just pitching “normal.” I mean shite last year he was still hitting the 100s in late innings. And some were faster than the pitches he was throwing in the 1st.

he added what they call a splinker because it’s something between a splitter and a sinker and it is filthy.

Omg Skenes struck out someone? Incredible.

Just for the record Ohtani has never homered off me.
