Well he has MILLIONS of reasons not to.


I think there was a time MLB starting pitchers threw on 3 days rest. I understand we live in a different era. Skenes didn't pitch a ton prior to LSU. He threw a total around 30 innings as a Freshman. He threw 85 innings last season. Not a ton of wear on him, IMO. He should be in great shape. If anyone can do this it's him. He's a hoss.

In today’s world I’d say it’s common for MLB pitchers to go on 4 days rest…..there’s also plenty times during the season where they get more.

The bottom line is Skenes has done it once that we know of and then you ask him to come off that 4 day rest outing with a 3 day rest outing…..I can recall that happening in the World Series once maybe recently

This. Let this sink in for a minute......The year Ben set the K record at LSU, including the innings he threw for the Olympic team, he threw more innings than Skenes has thrown in his whole career.
