Wow... just wow... So excited about this kid

Great control with speed. Impressive.

He’s a leg pitcher. Less risk of arm injuries.

I never thought I'd see a pitcher for the Pirates this good. I hope they don't trade him. The Pirates tend to trade their best players and they sometimes end up in a world series for another team. The fans could use a break from that.

I watched this game and the cubs who have a decent hitting team were just fanning on his fast balls … dominating stuff…he’s going to be fun to watch 👍

He seems to effortlessly throw serious gas and that splitter is just sick. Love it!

What's really impressive about this kid is not only is his stuff nasty, but he mixes his pitches well and keeps hitters guessing, very impressive. Only thing im worried about is just like DeGrom, Strider and lots of these other hard throwers injuries might unfortunately catch up to him, I hope not.

Let’s hope he has the health of the great Ryan

His pitching motion seems nice & easy, doesn’t look like he is straining to throw hard. A lot of movement on all his pitches, very very impressive. Hope a talent like this has a long and healthy career!

⛈️⚡🌩️⚡ he remind me a young mighty Roger - the rocket - Clemens 👀👀👀 the sound of the baseball when hit the catcher mitts is his awesome 🔥🔥 .

A very fluid motion... looks pretty hitch-free... arm angle also looks to maximize lateral torso torque, especially with that near side-arm slot. That movement is SICK... I wonder what his spin rate is on his pitches...

I see a lot of ppl talking about him blowing out his arm because of throwing such high heat. But hes not a pure heat pitcher. He HAS that heat and uses it, but most of his pitches he throws are offspeed. He does that because with such a fast fastball, they have to either sit and wait on the fastball or hope its the right offspeed pitch you think hes going to throw. If he throws the opposite, goodluck adjusting to it because you wont.

Another point they miss is that he’s massive! 92mph to him is having a catch. When he throws 100+ he’s not throwing everything he has. He throws 100 consistently with ease and they think he’s just running on fumes and determination. Hes the outlier, not the norm.

The movement on his 100mph pitches is crazy.

If it weren't for that battle with Busch and some...questionable umpiring, he could have easily gone 7 innings today instead of 6. Fantastic stuff!

Paul Skene reminds me of Matt Harvey came into the league throwing extremely hard lots of hype

Bro, i watched him while he was at LSU. Bro is f'n daaaangerous. His pitch speed/ball placement is ridiculous. He's built different. I'm surprised he didn't start as soon as he was drafted.

The splitter or splinker at 94-96 is a pure weapon. Wow does it move late. Hitters won’t be ready if he has fastball command

Skenes and Sasaki, 2 of the best young pitchers in the world. Can't wait for Sasaki to get in to the big leagues.

This dude is a STUD!

Never seen anything like this in a long time.

I'd be absolutely crushing it too if I were coming home to that....

Just wowie!!!!!!!

This guy definitely has the stuff to be one of the best in the game. Needs to mix in more off speed to complement the velo and he better figure out how to keep it down in the zone. It’s going to be interesting to see how he adapts once hitters start to figure him out.

Every pitch he has is absolutely filthy

He is pitching great. Also the more the seethe better they will get at hitting him.

he's the real deal

That splinker pitch is absolute filth. 95-96 mph with a short quick drop. Looks damn near unhittable.

good gods above how does he throw pitches that fast with that much movement?!

I saw a young "Strasburg" again as I thought. Keep healthy for a long career.

He will quickly make a great player on another team.

I’ve only done this on MLB the show…on rookie difficulty…

The teams don’t have a lot of data on him yet. He will be good but eventually film study will allow hitters to learn his patterns and giveaways

I really wish MLB managers would let pitchers pitch complete games. It’s taken one of the most exciting parts of the game away. If Nolan Ryan could handle 300 innings a season, and pitch into his 40’s, these pitchers can handle at least 8. Especially with the training and diet they get these days.

There are forces at work in this video lol

5th battery foul tip was the first contact

Im sorry Splinker is just too funny a name for a pitch 😂

Man this kid reminds me of Roge4r Clemens, but he is so unique in the way his arm doesn't give away his pitches at all. It almost looks like a slider sometime when he throws that sinker, but he holds in a way ive never seen.. Kids Special. When he is in that zone, he is unhittable at only 22 thats crazy

It hurts my arm just watching him throw so fast constantly on this pitch clock.

We’re going to need a better catcher if we’re gonna be able to utilize his movement

Skeens is awesome really hope pirates can keep him smh
