Diving into Paul Skenes Pitching Debut for the Pirates (Awesome Overlays) 

U were very correct

Yes please please!!

The biggest thing I think is he has a chance to STAY as dominant as degrom was. Hes 6'4 but only weighed 180ish lbs at his peak, thats a pretty small frame for that much force relatively speaking. Whereas Skenes is built more like Chapman, whos also about 6'4 but has the back and shoulders of a powerlifter. And Skenes has a couple inches of height on them both too, which at least in theory should mean less effort for the same velocity, like how stanton and judges longass arms give them that massive leverage. I think his body is much more likely to withstand the stress of constant triple digits for a good number of seasons.

Suzuki* also he bounced back against the bullpen

I did some digging because this comment intrigued me. It seems like the biggest thing is that Mookie's Launch Angle-Sweet spot percentage is pretty elite. His barrel% is actually middle of the road, but that's because barrel% takes into account exit velocity as well as launch angle, and his hard hit% is pretty middle of the road as well. It's not really surprising, tbh. He's what, 5-9, 175? He's just not going to swing as fast or hit the ball as hard as guys with 6+ inches and 50-75 pounds on him--mass*acceleration=force. But Mookie seems to hit the ball at a good angle when he does hit it, and he walks more and strikes out less than just about anyone. I don't think anyone would classify Mookie as a true power hitter, at least not like Ohtani, Judge, Stanton etc, who are capable of hitting 45+ HRs any given season, but more like a good, well rounded hitter, like an Altuve, J-Ram, etc, who have some pop, but also just hit the ball well and get on base a ton. And it seems like, after Trout, Mookie is the best we've seen this generation at just being an all around solid hitter. And TBH Mookie just might be slightly behind Trout because of their difference in height and weight.

Splinker - splitter and sinker. It’s Johan Duran’s pitch, Skenes added it this year. This is what Jimmy is calling the “split fastball” in the video.

Done on my phone so excuse the formatting. 2018-present CYA winners + Skenes: Names IP H R ER BB K Dec. Degrom 7.0 4 1 1 2 6 L Snell 5.0 2 1 1 1 6 ND Verlander 5.1 7 4 1 3 4 L Bauer 4.0 5 2 2 3 3 ND Bieber 5.2 8 4 4 1 6 ND Burnes¹ 2.0 0 0 0 0 1 SV Burnes² 5.0 6 4 4 1 12 ND Ray 5.1 5 1 1 1 5 W Alcántara³ 0.2 1 1 1 1 1 ND Alcántara⁴ 5.0 3 1 1 5 2 W Cole 6.1 7 2 2 0 2 W Skenes 4.0 6 3 3 2 7 ND ¹ Burnes MLB debut as RP (2017) ² Burnes first start (2018) ³ Alcántara MLB debut (RP) (2017) ⁴ Alcántara first start (2018) Funny both Alcántara and Burnes started as RP in 2017 and then made their first starts in 2018. I certainly wouldn't say its significantly worse than those, Beiber and Burnes (in his first START) gave up more runs. And 2 BB to 7 K isnt bad

They could get a couple extra years with Skenes if they offer him a big contract in the next few years. They’d pay a discounted salary from what he’d get in free agency, It just means they’d be paying him a hell of a lot more during his arbitration years. If they wait till his free agency comes up then they’ll have to trade him to a big market.

Look what Atlanta did with Austin Riley like yeah he’s somewhat expensive but he would’ve cost another 100-200 million if they waited. Idk I hope you keep him imma cleveland fan so I know the feeling of watching star after star leave. Only Jose Ramirez has stayed
