Saw him live at the Box when he was with Air Force as well
It can't be much longer until he's called up

With pitching injuries these days why waste a 100 mph fastball in the minors

Was blessed to sit behind home plate last season with my baseball junkie son to watch him mow down Tennessee. Will cherish that night a long time, my son mentioned it the other day, how he's just different than everyone else.

The Pirates have addressed why he is in the minors. It’s because they don’t want his mlb clock started yet. They can keep him an additional year on his contract if they don’t promote him up until after June 1.

The story arc of Paul Skenes at LSU is amazing if you think about it.

What an amazing 2 year period in a guys life.

Paul Skenes is like an MLB Road to the Show Character

i’ve literally maxed out pitchers in that game and they don’t have as good stuff as Skenes.

video games don’t believe you should throw 102 regularly

Saw him at the box in two different uniforms and then live in Omaha.
I love Ben, and a couple others, but Skenes is the best pitcher to put on an LSU uniform. Wish it had been for longer.

I compared him to Nolan Ryan. Not some relief pitcher who also throws triple digits.

The only time I got to see him was game 1 in Columbia against South Carolina last year. Probably the worst performance of his career.

I was there for game 2 and what should have been game 3 at USCe, glad I missed that one. My chance to witness Skenes was in Athens, and we won that series.

Saw him last night in Indianapolis.
I think he only threw one fastball that was under 100mph.
And his pickoff move to first is very good.

Drove in for the Kentucky Supers. Left the park twice due to the “weather delay” and finally made it back for the late pitch. It was well worth the drive and the wait. He was absolutely incredible in the P&G

All of those baseball cards I bought of him and Crews are actually looking like a decent investment. I'm sending 3 away to be graded.

Never saw him at the Box, but at Georgia's field on a Thursday night. He rarely hjt 100mph that night, but still blew away the Georgia batters.
