Paul Skenes strikes out SEVEN STRAIGHT batters to begin his second start for the Pirates! 

Striking out 11 batters in only your 2nd start is insane

He didn't have that splitter at LSU. He was unreal without it scary to think how dominant he will be with that new pitch.

His fastball moves A LOT, let's hope he stays healthy.

Man, looks like the Yankees will be paying this dude $400 million to be the ACE of there rotation in 7 years.

He's legit a combination of clemens and Verlander. The dude has special stuff. Guys like him only come around, maybe once every two or three DECADES.

Everybody who’s saying he’ll be injured hasn’t followed the guys career. Your witnessing the real deal

This kid is either going to be out of the league after a few years due to injuries like Mark Prior and Stephen Strasburg or be the next Randy Johnson and Nolan Ryan.

Fantastic- the precision of his fastball- unreal

If i could turn into a supporting ligament just to support his elbow, I gladly would. This man can TOSS. Lol

This guy looks effortless throwing the ball out there.

Cubs looking like a little league team right now😭

Thank you for putting this together

Electric like Mason Miller but he’s a starter…just filthy stuff

I can't believe how many people slept on him in Fantasy baseball. I have him on all 3 of my teams. 😂😂

I'd be interested to hear Pedro Martinez on his pitching mechanic.

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.

Appreciate his greatness! Geaux Tigers!

I watched Skenes pitch in person at LSU,ive never seen stuff like this before

Que movimiento tan espectacular tiene la recta de este muchacho miren como rompe esa recta a 100 millas

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.

Nolan Ryan is back

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!

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...

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

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.

This is strike out machine 🔥

That’s a lot of movement on that fastball. Wow.

7 strike outs here in Los Angeles is a free jumbo jack everyday the Dodgers get 7 Ks. We get lots a free jumbo jacks lol! Congrats to Mr. Skenes. I wouldnt be surprised if he isnt a Dodger in the future

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

He’s incredible

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.

Seems like only yesterday I was watching this guy in the college world series

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

Just wowie!!!!!!!

Imma Rangers fan from Tx. but I am gonna keep my eye on him and try and catch some games with him on the mound. Very exciting to watch. Hope he does really well in the MLB.

This pitcher will be "thee pitcher" to watch for a long time coming.

On the 6th ķ missed a perfect opportunity to say 'Better call Paul' that's all

ty mlb

He has a smooth delivery. Non-violent. He has pitched like this his whole life. He is very durable. He will be around a long time

The only thing more beautiful than Paul's pitching today is that he was in my FBB starting rotation.

Crazy. Gotta wait at least until his second time through the league though. Those big league hitters are pretty good.

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?!

The Gland Man has got the juice! 💯

Him striking people out and laughing at them is great. Skenes is great for baseball. Tossing a 100 plus and knowing it isn't fair and laughing at your struggling opposition is next level!

Coach O says git it baw! Ya think ya kno spicy wi commin

Nasty!!

That Splinker is a nasty pitch. Dang.

I’m telling you man, Skenes

Pittsburgh always getting high caliber pitchers good job

He looks like he short arms his pitch. Doesn't extend his arm. Hope he stays healthy

And he goes home to Livvy Dunne

what pitch is thrown at 10:19 for a ball? that thing is all over the place. would be neat if he could throw it far out to the right then just clip the inside corner for a K

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

There was absolutely no need for this video to be 14 minutes

Skenes vs Ohtani would be awesome matchup

Bro this man will be unfair

That was definitely a swing from Happ.

Paul skenes is so exciting. I don’t wanna be weird but damn.

he has a splinker, curve ball, slider and 100mph 4-seamer 😲

He almost had a perfect 6 innings 😩 so close

Its a splitter not a splinker. Young roger clemens. Hopefully he stays healthy

I think the velo is just natural for him

Cant believe they pulled him and the reliever immediately threw a hit. Idc if its 45 to 0 with 120 pitches in the 7th, you dont pull a pitcher on a no hitter.

Spencer Strider look-alike!

He's maybe the best pitcher i've ever seen. Velocity, good break ,control and mental toughness.

Winning on and off the field

If this guy can develop a solid changeup, my God he would be devastating.

えっぐいてー！！！

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

たまにではなく常に100マイルはエグい😱

Skeens is awesome really hope pirates can keep him smh

Real Nuke Laloosh vibes from this dude.

Monster😈

He's great, but I'm concerned that his pitching style is putting strain on his elbow.💪

He could pull a Satchel Paige stunt and tell the fielders to go sit in the dugout. He just needs the catcher.
