I’d love to be a fly on the wall during future conversations with Skenes and Bryan Reynolds. They’ll have a great conversation in less than 10 words
Showing 102 then following with an 84 curve is so nasty.
Skenes is a straight up baseball rat, I love it.
Braves fan super fan of Strider, I pray for this kids success!
Its not the 100+ alone that will blow his elbow out its that coupled with the breaking pitches that will catch up to him. More pitchers need to take the prime verlander approach and throw 94-96 and then later on in the game mix in 98-100 once your shoulder and elbow have warmed up to get crunch time outs.

Skenes isn’t throwing 100% effort to throw 102.

@@amonrodriguez3518 no he isn’t. He could throw 102 for complete games at LSU.
0:08 fuckin priceless lmao
If anyone had the lowest chance of tj while throwing 100+ it’d be him. He’s a unit his body can handle it way more than these small, skinny dudes in the mlb throwing 100
Good luck on a great career
Skenes is so nasty. But its inevitable that TJ is right around corner. I really wish it wasn't like that but there's legit no escaping it
This IS a new era where the belief is ‘you CAN increase velocity’ and ‘you CAN hit farther’. In the 2000s your projection from 86 Jr yr would be 92-93.

Part of the problem. Lots of guys throwing high 90s and triple digits that don't really have the natural physical disposition for it. Also, I know literally nothing about biomechanics or medicin.
I love this dudes moxy…don’t change mothafucka
He reminds me of josh allen with a stache lol
Should’ve asked him if his girlfriend has social media? 😂
“Your job is to go out there and throw hard…and get outs” Can I correct that to: “Your job is to go out there and get outs”

All you haters better quit wishing injury on this guy

Nobody is wishing or wants these guys to get hurt. It’s just the fact that everything points to this guy inevitably tearing his arm to shreds. It’s sad that’s what the game is doing to these guys but until they care about themselves at 60 years old then a game all these dudes will get hurt.
Another reason why baseball will continue to be the least dominant major sport. The service time and arbitration are so fucking stupid, lets see drafted players be great rookies immediately like they can in any other league.
If the Pirates were smart, they would try to get this guy to pitch to contact!!!!

Why when he can just get strikeouts he throws hard effortlessly
Why is pat doing this, i thought he hates baseball
im guessing from the comments none of you are pirates fans because ive never seen a group so salty. who gives a flying fuck if he gets Tommy john every pitcher in the mlb has the surgery at some point get over it and just watch someone be elite.
Dumb introduction. I hate this show I don’t get why people like pat. I really don’t. I don’t understand this it’s so annoying, but I would like to hear Paul talk and that’s the only reason I’m here
He'll never play in Pittsburgh, they'll trade him off so they don't have to pay big $. Pirate's are just another farm club

It’s likely given the current odds for a pitcher with his velocity, but is he supposed to change something? Why not just enjoy his talent?

I mean if you throw 100+ mechanics don’t matter, TJ is almost inevitable at that point
