Paul Skenes' MUST-SEE MLB debut had baseball fans EVERYWHERE BUZZING! 🔥 

Hey MLB, its 2024, time to upload in 1080p.

Skenes is electric. I hope and pray that his arm will hold up. A pitcher who throws hard tends to break down, quickly and often. Guys like Maddox and Glavine hardly ever missed their turn because they were finesse pitchers.

May Skenes be blessed with a fruitful MLB career. The guy is ELECTRIC.

Gotta love the supportive crowd! Those cheers were awesome

Gosh, it was an absolute pleasure to wake Skenes play at LSU last season. I had a ton of fun watching how good he was then, and I hope he keeps this up. He's a killer on the mound.

Absolute criminal what the bullpen did

Paul, I'm so thankful to see your family witness your incredible debut!

I'm a cubs fan and gotta admit bro was painting. 🎨

Even as a Braves fan, thats just cool to see. Good luck young man

Dude is special, was an absolute joy to watch this guy in Baton Rouge, Pittsburgh fans you got yourself a generational arm and a stand up guy as well.

Impressive pitcher. What I liked most was that regardless of his pitch selection all of his pitches were in the strike zone. His fast ball was lights but so were his other pitches.

Let’s go, Paul

So much potential.

As a Red Sox fan, I love seeing good pitchers so I really hope Skenes can win a World Series. He’s good enough

Got to watch him pitch about a dozen times at LSU last year. The guy can be a force for years to come.

This dudes arm is crazy but being a starter throwing that many pitches that high of velocity can be concerning. Hopefully the pirates staff doesnt overwork his arm this year.

That’s a reliever

We’ll take him in Baltimore where his talents won’t be wasted🍻

Should’ve just left him in there to get the win. Bullpen absolutely imploded.

Damn, I still remember seeing he was just getting drafted and all of a sudden here he is already having a pretty good MLB debut. Hope he's gonna keep on being healthy and have a grand old time in the majors!

Calling it now: Tommy John surgery by the end of next year, out of the bigs before the 10 year HOF eligibility requirement. I almost broke my arm just watching that fastball.

Just hope as a Pirates fan he stays with Pittsburgh and doesnt leave like Cole did

This guy is a savage those throws were amazing

Skeet Skeet Skenes throwing straight gas!

That slider is just NASTY!

Paul skenes is just getting started

BEAST!

Skenes became a starter in 2022 and has logged 285 innings which includes college, milb and mlb innings. He is a true talent and will on get better as he toes the rubber and goes through lineups. I think he is less likely to get injured than Strider because he is smaller than Skenes and has a more aggressive wind up than Skenes and had 513 innings when he went down. Alcantara is a better comp in my opinion, similar size and delivery to Skenes and he went 900 innings before going down. Of course Skenes could go down in his next start, but I think he plays for a long time before his elbow barks because his mechanics are solid and he has room to get stronger and conditioning at the mlb level is next to none (except maybe Japan).

WHOAA.

the noise in that stadium is absolutely electricity

filth, absolute filth on that slider

He’s going to be a front line starter for a while. Impressive debut albeit not without some speed bumps

Love to see it!

Man. He is definitely as good as advertised.

I’ve never seen a prospect with that much hype.

Great pitching!!!

he’ll make a great trade asset in 3 years

Skenes is a generational player. He was special at LSU and he will be special in the MLB.

Livvy Skenes is calling

Skenes is a beast.

that sweeper is nice bro

Good luck to you bro.

DEREK SHELTON SHAT ON HIS DEBUT BY PULLING HIM HALFWAY THROUGH THE INNING. INCOMPETENT COACH.

What a feeling that must be walking to the dugout and everybody standing.

that backdoor curve was filthy

Creo que sera el mejor ohh velocidad inteligente un cerebro de picheo USA consiguió una picheo increíble para el próximo clásico mundial

The curve ball that started up and out was NASTY

Hopefully he stays healthier than Strasburg and has a long career

Kid out here throwing frisbee's

dudes velocity is filthy... MLB pitching is crazy now... You gotta throw at least 95 to be a starter now it seems.

I like how he's 21 but looks like a 40 year old from 1992.

I said 4 weeks ago, screw the extra pay if the Pirates bring Skenes up before June, bring him up. I watched him all last year at LSU, he was ready for a MLB start NOW!

🎨 job

Pat and the boys will be excited haha

Hope he plays as long as Randy Johnson :)

Pirates might have something special here … He throws nasty stuff

The guy looks 45. I have no idea how old he is though

I was here

He throws 100 mph with ease, As a Yankees fan I wish he was on the Yankees

he's got a beautiful windup

Already waiting for Skenes vs Ohtani!

The facial reactions of the batters looking at strike three say it all.

Pulled him before he could get the win. Insane.

Nolan threw hard, he had a long career.

Nice debut...

The MLBs pitcher factory

Dear Americans, I'm learning baseball slowly and no doubt its an amazing game. Americans, for the 1st time your USA national cricket team about to take part in WC T20 2024 USA starts from 2nd of June, they need your support so plz support them.. Team USA have the potential to be one of the greatest cricketing side globally, as they're habituated to play similar game Baseball. The only thing they're missing is your support... thank you.

Now I wanna see what he can do at bat

Bro is filthy

Ya'll can shout at his 6.5-ish ERA but bro is one of the most hyped-up debutants give him a break, his nerves must have been going crazy. Putting him back in AAA would be unfair to the hitters there he fully deserves to be here. Refer to this comment when he is a hall of famer in 20+ years time.

Enjoy him while he is there Pirate fans.

Bringing back the stache

the people saying that his arm not gonna hold up missed to stash him on Fantasy 🤣

Really appreciate the MLB making the dumb decision to blackout this game on the MLB Network. Thanks guys.

Talking bout this kid like hes 86’ Doc Gooden, not even close.

I hope the pirates keep him

Damn

Geezus critics he was amped up , it was his first start and a bunch of you criticize him. Should i list all the veteran aces who got destroyed their first game this year? Zach wheeler the best pitcher in baseball got rocked by miami. He has great stuff let him adjust to the league before putting him down.

Livvy gettin' that bag....

Bruh this dude be tapping that Livvy Dunne

It’ll be good to see this guy in a dodgers uniform next year

Crazy he didn’t pick up that W for the game

I can already hear the commenters foaming at the mouth casting this guy lmao

All of this is just for throwing a ball. Goes to show how much people love their sports wow.

He’ll be a great Yankee someday or Dodger.

watched him at LSU. Nolan Ryan 2.0

The first few innings were impressive, but for a debut, it was pretty mediocre for how much credit he got. 7K's was definitely nice and you can tell he can easily rack up more I think the pressure got to him in his last few pitches.

Livvy Dunne bouta become the Taylor Swift of the MLB world

0:39 shows what hitters have to deal with. The default TV view makes it look as if a fastball is just floating up to the plate; no sir.

Skene's stats after debut 4.0 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 1 HR, 7 K, 6.75 ERA

Baseball has got to have the most amount of overturned calls that end up being correct. Not sure why other sports can't figure it out

Future Padre!

Has a lot of work to do. Maybe in 5 years he will be ready for mlb

Guy looks blasted on the mound.

I guarantee he does better next game. You could tell how nervous he was...and for good reason. The entire baseball world was watching that game and he knew it. If he controls those fastballs (which he has great control over, just not so much this game), he becomes almost impossible to hit. He pitches so many off speed pitches because when someone bats against him, hes throwing so hard that they basically have to watch for the fastball or they'll never catch up to it. That is such a lethal combination...but you have to be damn near inhuman to make it work. This dude is damn near inhuman.

MLB has greatest talents. This is more than any other league!!

Geaux Tiger!

2:33 filthy

idk how he pulled Dunne, must be the money lol but also i hope he moves to the bullpen, cause idk how he'll hold up as a starter with that big of an arm..kids a stud tho

I don't know who that is but he's good.
