  • Paul Skenes has quickly become one of the most exciting pitchers in baseball, and with the ability to consistently throw 100+ mph, it’s easy to see why. However, his journey to stardom was not as easy as it may seem, and fans are worried that arm injuries are inevitable.
    This is the story of Paul Skenes.

    Dude went 1st overall in the draft. I'd hardly consider that "out of nowhere."
    Here is a true example of "out of nowhere." Seth Lugo this year.

    Skenes didn't start throwing 100+ until he went to LSU. The pitching coach put him on an MLB training program and worked his mechanics and then suddenly he was throwing 102-103. He can throw faster but chooses not to.

    I thought at LSU he was more over the top like Verlander and Nolan Ryan. He needs to get back to that or he's not going to last. Save the splinker for when you really need it. You got 5 pitches you can control, work on that, and make going over top your primary. He's big and powerful, too many pitches in this video are going to blow his arm out, much like Strider.

      He didn’t commission, nor did he enlist. The service academies are training you to be an officer. Most likely he didn’t contract yet so his baseball dream could be kept alive. I’m not sure exactly what the rules are because I’m in rotc at a state school which is a little different than a service academy.

      I’m not sure how common that is, but some people go there for the prestige and free education but then realize they hate it and/or discover the career as an officer is not for them. I’ve met a few people like that.
      The military doesn’t want officers who don’t want to be there, but they don’t want to give out free educations and not get anything back, so this is the compromise.

    Looking at Paul Skenes, I worry. The dude is utterly dominate on the mound at times, but the human elbow isn't designed to take that kind of repeated stress, over and over again, over a course of years.
    Maybe we will get lucky though, and he'll have both the velocity of Nolan Ryan, as well as his tendon strength. The game would defenitly be better for it.

      It’s baseball dude. You don’t usually just see someone get drafted and make an immediate impact. It can take years for too prospects to make it theough the minors and even longer to prove they belong in the majors. There was actually a debate whether or not he or crews should have gone 1st overall. With the benefit of hindsight, him going 1 was obvious, but it wasn’t even at the time. He’s already dominating the mlb, it’s unprecedented

      ​@@shadowlazersit's still fundamentally wrong. When you go first overall in the draft it is with the understanding you have the highest chance of becoming an elite player out of ALL those other players.
      Being drafted in the 8th and coming in and performing like this would be "out of nowhere."
