Skenes still throwing 98 after almost 100 pitches

Any pitcher who is still throwing 98 mph at nearly 100 pitches in the game is on a different level

Lsu may not lose this year

They probably will, but I doubt it’s more than 5-10 games

I’m hung up on that 94mph 2 seamer that ran 19”. Big Ben couldn’t stop gushing over that thing.

Skenes has starter MLB pitcher written all over him.

Aaron Nola himself didn’t have an exploding 2-seamer like Paul’s when he was in school. it had a similar range of movement, but didn’t jump on guys like this. once Paul shakes the winter rust off and starts painting corners, the sky is the limit

The pitching consistency we have is even better than the 1990’s when LSU was dominating Omaha

---

We weren’t dominating in the 90’s because of consistent pitching

That kind of velocity will dominate college baseball. People forget it’s still amateur baseball. Guy is already throwing like a big leaguer.

And having one of the best pitching coaches in the WORLD is f’ing huge! I’m pumped for our pitching staff for years to come

If he dominates, it wont be because he throws 99, itlll be that, plus location, plus movement. There are plenty of guys who can throw 99 that get hit around. But yeah, he’ll overmatch weaker hitters with it
