I don’t go to a ton of minor league games but Paul Skenes is certainly the best minor league pitcher I have ever seen in person…9 batters, 9 outs, 5 Ks and over 100 mph on 8 pitches Congrats to the Pirates https://t.co/b3r217Dcfb
Skenes is flat dominant through two. No hits, four Ks. Don't know velo bc no radar on the broadcast and the announcer hasn't mentioned it.
Another K for Skenes. Got Louisville's cleanup man looking with a 100 mph fastball on the black.

At Louisville Bats game for the debut of Paul Skenes (from LSU) who was the #1 overall pick last year for the Pirates He is going to be a problem https://t.co/TPCSiE98HN
Three up, three down. Skenes is heading back out there for the bottom of the second.
Two at-bats, two K's for Skenes. Second one was a whiff on a slider.
Indy gets a walk but nothing else in the top half of the first. It's Skenes time.
