Please baseball gods, protect this man's elbow.
Same was said about Steven Strasberg and Shohei Ohtani as well but one was forced to retire due to injuries and the other was forced out of the starting rotation altogether and is no more than a glorified DH.
Ohtani: what? no!
And his shoulders
@@arthurau9231 a "glorified DH" is a little harsh when he's been arguably the best hitter in baseball through the first quarter of the season. It'll be interesting to see if he can come back from a second TJ surgery and be at all effective, when the track record there isn't great, but at the same time Ohtani is also a 1 of 1 genuine freak athlete.
@arthurau9231 he is the greatest glorified DH of his generation, especially from the left side of the plate. Only as a DH still a top 5 MLB player
Please God, don't let the Pirates pitching coaches talk to him, ever
So true
lmao. but for real God, don't.
Different management but they did nearly ruin Cole by making him pitch for contact, and that management was smarter than the one they have now.
Arm action is crazy
Their pitching coaches are the one part of management that’s actually done a good job so far.
His movement on that fastball is crazy
His 4 seam fastball has below average horizontal and vertical movement in MLB. It’s his release point and velocity that makes it effective. His splinker has above average movement and is probably his best pitch.
@@buddhastl7120 it makes sense.. rotational velocity can’t grab as much air to move one way or another if it’s going 4-6 miles an hour faster than your average starter. That little five percent increase means the ball is in the air a meaningfully shorter time. But you’re so right. That release is nasty.
He needs a splitter in the low 90s it's be impossible to not swing at
His curve and slider are nasty as well
Bro throws 101 with a tail. Stop
Playing like a true number 1 pick
touche
No...playing like the best pitcher in baseball
O's fans felt that comment. Jax will be back though.
@@jamisonweaver3711😢
he’s unbelievable
I believe him.
I've never seen a pitcher this dominant. He's a freak! Even his 102 mph fastballs track clear across the plate!
I have... Pitcher for the cubs in the 90s.
@brandonfreeman6517 who??? Lmao. Name him
Never? You must be new to the sport.
Nothing that tracks as much as his pitches but he really reminds me of the big unit. I hope he never gets hurt I love watching him
@@MrKirk94kerry wood mark prior
I'm from brazil... 99% people only into football and I love too but start to watch baseball because of ohtani but I'm very excited for the this amazing talent who are starting careers now like skenes, de la cruz, sasaki... i feel that i have luck to catch a great era of baseball players
ありがとうございます❤
e aiiii meu amigo!!!
This kid is real deal. All 5 pitches have outrageous movements.
Paul Skenes struck 11 out and then went home to Livvy Dunne, bro is just winning
He could do a lot better than Livvy dunne there’s a 1000 girls like her on every college campus
It’s the control that is so impressive. He’s able to locate 100mph on the black consistently. I think that is the reason why his velocity is more impressive than guys like Chapman, who can throw 105 in his prime, but would live around the middle of the plate. Hoping this guys arm holds up and he is able to create the blueprint for high velo starters who can also have long careers.
will not happen
@@TrevorHambergerrandy johnson?
I'm a subscriber to MLB TV and I tuned in to this game only because Skenes was pitching. He thoroughly dominated the Cubbies. Kid has great command and incredible movement on his pitches.
Might be the most talented pitcher in history. In fact I would say he is.
Are you both on drugs? Great stuff, no command. Michael Vick of baseball. Dogs beware.
@@KenKaniff-dw4jw what a reactionary take
I agree, that's what I'm impressed with the most, his command and control are elite!!!! (thus far)
@@caesar.5252 he's better than you favorite pitcher
The Cubs fan behind home plate was losing his mind 🤣🤣
Splinker is crazy
This dude is a freak of nature! Bob Nutting please go out and spend some money around him and win some World Series! Cause this dude is a TRUE #1. The movement on his pitches is something different
Most entertaining pitcher I've seen since Clemens. Dude is throwing absolute gas with movement.
Exactly. Some pitchers can throw a 100 but it’s flat and gets drilled. His has nasty movement on his
I'm sure the Yankees, Dodgers, and Phillies are licking their chops as they can't wait to deal a few mid-level prospects for him in about 5 years.
Aint no mid level prospects for him
@@13WVUwith the pirates? They will be lucky to get mid level
That 4-seam’s wicked. Most exciting player I’ve watched in baseball this year.
One missed strike call away from being perfect through 6 is insane
never woulda thought i would be rooting for this kid so hard
I was really looking forward to!
I love the energy that the commentators had for this game. I hope they can bring that to every game they work.
Greg Brown is a solid announcer. He's the one with the emotion and he typically is always like this. Matt Capps the former pitcher is the other one that's more chill
This is gonna be fun watching him more!!
It's poetic that he did it at Wringley field because it's very reminiscent of Kerry Woods' 20 K start. The hard fast ball with armside run, the slider, very similar in my eyes.
As long as the mlb staffs don’t change and destroy his arm, he will be dominant for a long time. Throwing a ball like that and not over labored while doing it. Amazing.
He's awesome to watch, really hope he stays on top of his strength, health and recovery so that his arm and elbow hold up for years to come! Great dude on and off the field
Watch his footwork on the motion--lands on the ball of his foot, toes pointed at the catcher, same as the change Randy Johnson did when he went from a fast but erratic thrower to a lethal pitcher that made hitters buckle in terror. That's why Skenes has such an amazing combination of control and acceleration.
Love this dude. Throws straight gas ⛽️
Sheesh! All the makings of a legend.
no hitter through 6 on his second major league start... yea that kid is something.
Wow!! this man is 🔥🔥🔥
this man will be a legend
This Man will get the Bucs to a World Series. Mark my words. I'm hoping for Cutch's last season. Though I know this is just mere coincidence but Andrew McCutchen has Homered in every game that Skenes has started in. Tell me that isn't G-d or the Universe giving us a sign.
This dude is a beast!!
If I'm the Pirates, I'm pushing as many promising rookies into the league as I can! With the way their pitching staff looks this year, their in a position few organizations have EVER been in.
Ikr! Skenes, Jones, Keller, Falter. Bednar to close. If they keep the bats going watch out.
@@rags15061 They need to get Hayes back, and more consistency out of Cruz and Reynolds.
The bullpen is total SHITE, and they arguably have the worst manager in baseball. He needs to go in the offseason, and they need to sign some veteran bats to fill out the line-up.
@@nahor88 well we can nitpick at all the teams in the league tbh. They just blew out the cubs in front of a packed Wrigley!
@@nahor88he is a bad manger I will say. But I still think that title of worst goes to Oli Marmal
The pirates should lock this guy up
Skenes is a Generational Player.
GEAUX TIGERS
Geaux Tighas!!
We had him for one year chill
@@slobbynick why chill? He is a generational player. Doesn’t matter if LSU had him only for 1 year. He still represents Purple and Gold.
@@slobbynickAnd won a natty. That’s like Auburn fans not celebrating Cam Newton.
😂 How long have you been a pessimistic hater? Do better.
@@2iggy_ people like you keep me going
I can see the future a perfect game is coming his way
this guys a machine just cranking out nasty pitches
Watched him pitch during a Florida vs LSU game.....dude is a beast!
This guy is actually so fricken good
That guy is on another level ⚡⚡⚡
This man will be great for years to come I've got no doubt
Dude, the pirates are almost 25 to 1 right now to win their division.
Yes, they are 6.5 games back, but they have very good starting pitching.
Skenes & Jones are a HELLUVA 1-2 punch.
I mean, is it LIKELY that they'll win? No. But, it's hard to find 25-1's that even have a CHANCE.
His splitter looks like a reverse slider. It’s nasty!!
He’s an absolute machine. I was blessed to watch him in college, in a higher LSU fan. It’s something about that arm angle that hides the ball…. Similar to Aaron Nola.
This man is a weapon.
I just knew he'll be a generational pitcher!!! Guess he'll be in pinstripes in 5 years lol...
Me gusta la forma de este crack se nota que se divierte ❤
That guy is so awesome. Damn that boy can throw some hundreds
This Paul Skenes has made an impact in his first road game... and at Wrigley Field.. Oh My God
I was on the toliet watching this highlight reel just long enough so my legs fell asleep 😂 now I’m in pain… can’t feel my feet
His ball movement is something special.
Might be some of the nastiest stuff we've ever seen
If you really think that you must be very young or you have not been paying attention.
@@akitas8165I’m not young and follow baseball closely. His stuff is absolutely the best I’ve ever seen. Maybe he doesn’t become the best ever but he absolutely one of the most naturally talented pitchers to ever come to mlb.
No way! Pedro Martinez
@@davidcovington1046 Pedro’s natural stuff was not as good as skenes
@@akitas8165SOME OF THE. SOME OF THE. Can you read?
crazy throws
Best fantasy pickup of my life thank god
Paul "Good Luck Adjusting" Skenes 2:17
I've been watching the MLB since the early 1970s. Honestly, Skenes has a chance to cause a mania comparable to Fernando Valenzuela in the early 1980s. I hope and pray that his are/elbow will remain intact throughout the year. I have seen too many flame-throwers getting injured (Strasburg, Lincecum, Kerry Wood, Syndergaard, etc, etc.) and ended the career way too early.
he goes down faster than all of them
Yeah but he's not strictly a flamethrower. He has the speed and power of a flamethrower, but he just uses his fastball to make them have to wait for it or to try to guess which ridiculous junk pitch he's going to throw. There's no way they can catch up that fast of a fastball unless they're sitting on it. He throws more junk than anything from way I've seen. What do you think?
favorite pitcher rn
The only pitching highlights I watch
This guy is King of the world at the moment. Possible ROTY AND gets to go home and sleep next to Livy Dunne... What a life!
Amazing how well he pitched even when not getting a lot of low strikes called.
I really enjoyed watching him play last year at LSU, my hometown team and what some people may not know is that when he transferred from the Air Force Academy his heater was running up to 92-93mph and he also played catcher. He was their best hitter, batted around .350 with power, led the team in homers but came to LSU and focused strictly on pitching (*LSU had a couple of decent hitters a year ago lol) and somehow found his fastball running up to 102mph and was all everything last year on his way to a championship and the 1st overall selection in the draft followed by former LSU teamate Dylan Crews, the 2nd overall selection in the draft. The first time two players from the same team were drafted 1 and 2, it's probably fair to say that the 2023 LSU Tigers were a pretty good team! Lol 😂
It never gets old being right
What did I tell you about Skenes
Wow 🤯 I haven’t seen anything like this since Randy Johnson… he’s definitely unbelievable
A true freak of nature
Love this kid. The elbow and shoulder loading is not good. Everyone enjoy this while he's got it.
now that is a winning arm this year💪. i can see him break Nolan Ryan strike out record
Can't wait for Pitching Ninja tomorrow!
This guy is from another planet
This guy reminds me of the big unit, so dominant.
Paul Skenes is the next Jim Maloney .
He is the best pitcher since Koufax , Marichal and Gibson .
He has the most visible action I’ve seen in a while, I mean his pitches move a foot to the left and right, AND throws triple digits.. insane.
Well damn!
If you saw his first ever MLB debut comments, Livvy skenes is still calling
Scary great. His command has improved very quickly from the prep work in the minors. Everyone will be begging for mercy if he is on point like this in every outing.
This is absolutely impressive. Let's just wait and see if TJ gets him within a year or two.
His splitter is unbelievable
They're so afraid of the fastball they chase everything else
It’s crazy to think that Nolan Ryan did that for 27 years and his fb was 101 at the plate
Exactly
The glazing is crazy
Looks like Paul is a God-fearing man
Or just, **God**
정말 미친 재능을 가진 선수입니다 😂
Outstanding- go bucs!
Skenes vs Brewers. Cant wait....
Best pitcher ever to win the world series is Ralph Hinkley. You know the dude with the curly blonde hair from way back on TV.
I swear we get some amazing talent through The Burgh
I think mlb should be in a pretty good place with the current up and coming players that will be stars added to the stars that are already established
The heading shuold be, ''Skenes Skins Quiet Cubs. LOL, regardless how they play, they are always amusing to someone.
Well I hope his career goes well it’s possible that he has the the potential of being the next Nolan Ryan
His fastball moves like a 100 mph sinker. Are you kidding me
@2:32 that 101 bullet moved from paint to almost the middle of the zone. Protect this man's elbow.
That’s unhittable. Literally.
A true #1 draft pick
Now THAT was an EXPELLIARMUS spell!
This guys gonna get 20 in a game one day. He reminds me so much of Max Scherzer
Unbelievable talent. Don't be too hard on my Reds lol. Best of luck young man in your career
With Jones doing well the Pittsburgh rotation can be great.
Paul Skenes my new favorite pitcher 🔥🤙🏽
As a Pirates fan... he is a monster. His stuff is some of the nastiest I've ever seen, his command/control is rough though. The first start was brutal, he was missing locations so badly but his stuff was so good it didn't matter. The second start was MUCH better obviously. He wasn't so wildly out of the zone on some pitches. He stilled seemed to have trouble elevating the fastball.
Maybe I'm wrong because I haven't paid much attention to baseball in a decade because being a Pirates fan is rough. But with that velocity and movement... high inner fastballs are hard to hit and near impossible to make solid contact with. The catcher multiple times setup high and the pitch went low, was still nasty enough for strikes, but man once he gets control of that it's going to be disgusting. He seemed to get better with it in the 6th. He had a few fastballs he got in and up on hitters even though he appeared to lose some velocity. He went from 99-102 to 97-100
He's no Justin Verlander that's for sure. That man threw harder the deeper he went in his early career. I don't think there's much wrong with tossing 100 mph in the 6th though. haha
Are you kidding me? The guy sat 11 in his second big show start while not giving up a single hit? Meanwhile you're looking for things to nitpick? He was great in his first start too but the bullpen absolutely let him down. His command is absolutely fine, you're picking one or two AB's he slightly missed and acting like those were the norm. He had trouble elevating? Were we watching the same game? Honestly, I don't know what you were watching but his movement on just about every pitch besides his change up was just nasty. That run combined with the velocity is ridiculous, yet you're sitting him trying to say it's not that great. It's amazing, period.
WOW!
Truly Magnificent
Paul Skenes is the modern day Dwight Gooden. Dwight Gooden was the modern day Bob Gibson of his era. Stay tuned folks, this man is going to be impressive👌
That bat toss was headed straight for me shoutout the net 😭
Not a pirate fan but a Skenes fan. Go get em sir! 💪 i
