The Pirates young pitcher also had some incredible speed on the mound today as he threw 16 pitches over 100 MPH in his first 2 innings which is the most by any MLB pitcher this season.
Most 100+ MPH pitches, first 2 innings of an MLB game this year:
Paul Skenes, 16 😮 (today in his MLB debut!) Jared Jones, 8 José Soriano, 7 Hunter Greene, 6 José Soriano, 3 Bobby Miller, 3
The Pirates clearly have a serious pitcher on their hands as Skenes has shown he belongs in this league and could be a Cy Young candidate during his career, if not even a winner.
