Paul Skenes on pitch speed, playing Triple-A and pro ball talk 🙌 | The Pat McAfee Show

0:08 fuckin priceless lmao

[@2choosewisely2]

yah, it is very critical and vital to know how to adjust to new and more difficult situation. adjusting to a more difficult more challenging situation can mean make it or break it, so it is very important to have that ability to adjust to a new and more challenging, much more difficult situation....

[@2choosewisely2]

a magical divine power that came upon him suddenly and graced him with a super arm power pitching for the mlb, sounds plausible

[@2choosewisely2]

what does good luck adjusting mean paul skenes?

[@sah4128]

I’d love to be a fly on the wall during future conversations with Skenes and Bryan Reynolds. They’ll have a great conversation in less than 10 words

[@kyrieirving7988]

If anyone had the lowest chance of tj while throwing 100+ it’d be him. He’s a unit his body can handle it way more than these small, skinny dudes in the mlb throwing 100

[@pittdave79]

Showing 102 then following with an 84 curve is so nasty.

[@KJShinra]

Skenes is a straight up baseball rat, I love it.

[@Lester3110]

Its not the 100+ alone that will blow his elbow out its that coupled with the breaking pitches that will catch up to him. More pitchers need to take the prime verlander approach and throw 94-96 and then later on in the game mix in 98-100 once your shoulder and elbow have warmed up to get crunch time outs.

[@whowastheoneguy4719]

Verlander is a beast

[@LoSoNBanks22]

Skenes is a different animal

[@lRosettaStonedl]

Skenes isn’t throwing 100% effort to throw 102.

[@amonrodriguez3518]

@@lRosettaStonedlyes he is, they only pitch em 3 innings at a time

[@lRosettaStonedl]

@@amonrodriguez3518 no he isn’t. He could throw 102 for complete games at LSU.

[@PopOutPaulie]

Skenes is so nasty. But its inevitable that TJ is right around corner. I really wish it wasn't like that but there's legit no escaping it

[@tom6875]

Braves fan super fan of Strider, I pray for this kids success!

[@bodybytacos6043]

Good luck on a great career

[@Hyro-i8o]

I love this dudes moxy…don’t change mothafucka

[@nickselk6250]

Why is pat doing this, i thought he hates baseball

[@JamesEvans2023]

Another reason why baseball will continue to be the least dominant major sport. The service time and arbitration are so fucking stupid, lets see drafted players be great rookies immediately like they can in any other league.

[@manager4409]

Yea the mlb draft doesn't really matter you're not going to see them again for years

[@JamesEvans2023]

@@manager4409 that's exactly why the sport gets the slowest growth, the other leagues understood drafts should mean something.

[@15redly]

im guessing from the comments none of you are pirates fans because ive never seen a group so salty. who gives a flying fuck if he gets Tommy john every pitcher in the mlb has the surgery at some point get over it and just watch someone be elite.

[@lpn8585]

Should’ve asked him if his girlfriend has social media? 😂

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

This IS a new era where the belief is ‘you CAN increase velocity’ and ‘you CAN hit farther’. In the 2000s your projection from 86 Jr yr would be 92-93.

[@cjr1881]

No

[@richard_nj]

Part of the problem. Lots of guys throwing high 90s and triple digits that don't really have the natural physical disposition for it. Also, I know literally nothing about biomechanics or medicin.

[@amonrodriguez3518]

Dumb introduction. I hate this show I don’t get why people like pat. I really don’t. I don’t understand this it’s so annoying, but I would like to hear Paul talk and that’s the only reason I’m here

[@jimc.goodfellas]

All you haters better quit wishing injury on this guy

[@ldcow3948]

Nobody is wishing or wants these guys to get hurt. It’s just the fact that everything points to this guy inevitably tearing his arm to shreds. It’s sad that’s what the game is doing to these guys but until they care about themselves at 60 years old then a game all these dudes will get hurt.

[@ringwormsherm]

He reminds me of josh allen with a stache lol

[@markbrophy554]

If the Pirates were smart, they would try to get this guy to pitch to contact!!!!

[@timdorazio184]

That's what they did with gerritt cole

[@JordanCannon-lg4jc]

Why when he can just get strikeouts he throws hard effortlessly

[@paulkoontz6095]

He'll never play in Pittsburgh, they'll trade him off so they don't have to pay big $. Pirate's are just another farm club

[@CaNtHoNY127]

Wow, haven’t heard that one before! Did you come up with that all on your own?

[@luciodeleon1998]

Tommy John surgery soon or later for sure

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

It’s likely given the current odds for a pitcher with his velocity, but is he supposed to change something? Why not just enjoy his talent?

[@PaceFootball]

Whoop-Dee-Doo! Plenty of HOF pitchers had TJ surgery, including Nolan Ryan and Randy Johnson. Who cares you whiny beecths

[@Unknown273-u6l]

Tommy john surgery coming soon

[@VKompanyLLC]

The hell is wrong with you

[@teejay33955]

Sadly, yes. His pitching motion needs to be tweaked to have the best chance to avoid

[@ehisfaith7295]

😂😂sadly yes

[@samwatters1652]

Can we just all silently acknowledge this we don’t need all that

[@matttirado1341]

I mean if you throw 100+ mechanics don’t matter, TJ is almost inevitable at that point
