Preface: I do not follow baseball too deeply, but have always enjoyed the Pirates, despite the last 30 or so years… But this Paul Skenes is just ridiculous, and I think anyone who likes sports will be amazed by what he’s doing. Today he struck out 9 batters through 5 innings and I believe he is now 2-0 in (he’s only been doing 4-6 innings, understandably) his incredibly young MLB career. He is consistently hitting triple digits with his fastball, and even his breaking stuff is in the low to mid 90s. So with 22 innings pitched, he currently has 30 strikeouts and an ERA of 0.91. As someone who has watched the Pirates struggle pretty much ever since the infamous Sid Bream “safe” call in 1992(?), on this is just so incredible to watch… hard to believe it’s real, even. submitted by /u/hangryhyax |
