Is Paul Skenes The Best Pitching Prospect EVER??

LSU baseball has been astounded by the remarkable performance of Paul Skenes, who has been practically invincible on the mound. His throws, which include overpowering velocity of almost 100 mph, cunning breaking balls and changeups, and outstanding accuracy, have made him an exceptional prospect for the upcoming MLB draft. Any team that lands him will surely be delighted.

this seems to be aging well

[@BirdGang6]

The fact that he’s 6’6” 265 pounds makes me think he’s going to have the type of frame to log a ton of innings in the majors

[@Baseball_Mania3]

That and his velocity is great. He'll be an amazing MLB starter if he stays consistent.

[@Razorbacksby90]

He is not the all time biggest prospect. He isn’t Strausburg out of college

[@Baseball_Mania3]

I'd say it's pretty close, although Strasburg was an all-around better player. Skenes has better command on his fastball and uses it better.

[@Razorbacksby90]

@@Baseball_Mania3 not even close, strausbug was the overall consensus number 1 pick who could have debuted and been a solid three for the Nats that year. Paul needs fine tuning in the minors

[@whywhyerson9910]

He wasn’t struggling as a hitter, he can hit in the pros, but he won’t. LSU had no need for another bat in the lineup. So they let him be a pitcher only. Which I expect to stay the same after being drafted

[@ironhead3494]

Dude hasn’t had a single at bat this year, and it isn’t because he’s lacking anything in his hitting.

[@lastlogicallib]

I’m surprised this video even mentions anything hitting related. Dude could be a really good hitter and still any coach with half a brain(any gm or scout for that matter) wouldn’t even ask about his hitting. At this point it would be a novelty.

[@Baseball_Mania3]

He could be a great hitter, I think he's a really big all around talent and that's part of the reason whatever team picks him up is really lucky.

[@nickpapageorgio8529]

Not only was he pitching and hitting, he was pitching and hitting while playing catcher of all positions. That’s insane if you think about it. And he’s 6’7”, Crews is easily the best player in the country. It’s not even close but Skenes and Dollanger are the top pitching prospects. And his fastball isn’t mirb90s. He throws 100+ and hit 102 many times this year

[@SmarterTHANeveryliberal]

A month ago you said this and probably it was correct but by the end of the season Skenes was the best player in the country period.

[@mmclaurin8035]

The reason Paul Skenes is improved this year as a pitcher is because he hasn't focused for one second on his batting while at LSU. He's a pitcher. Full stop. WTF are you talking about his hitting has taken a step back. WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

[@theghastlygamer5326]

Great pitcher best in country, but dylan crews on his team is a better prospect

[@Baseball_Mania3]

100%

[@nicolaslacombe1979]

It's hard to say tbh. When Skenes gets to the pros, he'll have a better understanding of "elite" hitters. And more time around other pros..

[@gsjackson34]

I think they'll go 1-2 in the draft. Not sure which one I'd take first. Both have off-the-charts makeup and work habits. I saw LSU play at Texas A&M and Skenes was regularly touching 100 almost effortlessly.

[@Baseball_Mania3]

@@gsjackson34 I'd say Crews is first, but that's not downing on Skenes at all. Just Crews has been incredible, it's hard to pass up on him at one. I think Skenes ends up being a better player though. Both going to be stars in the league.

[@ibelieve96]

Well he was up to 102.7 this last Saturday

[@travisgreene3509]

Stop ending sentences like that

[@Baseball_Mania3]

Looking back on this script. I didn't do a good job. If you want to check out future vids.. like tmr you'll see that it's improved. But this video's from more than a month ago and I had no clue what I was doing lol. I appreciate the comment though!

[@travisgreene3509]

@@Baseball_Mania3 it’s certainly not about the script. I’m commenting on the cadence, vocal inflection and general lack of charisma. Definitely something you will be able to improve upon with practice. I’ll keep an eye out. Best wishes.

[@legibby]

What’s up w these narrators who don’t understand the subject matter. Won’t sub or watch more videos from this channel.

[@lastlogicallib]

I think what’s happening is somebody puts the video together and then gets on fiverr or one of those sites to hire someone to read the script. Often times that person doesn’t know what the hell the subject matter is even about.

[@lastlogicallib]

But yeah, when he spells out whip 😂 so irritating.
