re: Missing Skenes here in Austin would be similar to missing the opportunity to see Joe in 19

I like how you roll Ostrich.

You explained it better than me why this Skenes is interesting.

I don’t have near the Baseball knowledge as others here especially specific to pitchers. But what I do notice as someone mentioned above he is not only a Unit but makes it look fairly easy to hit high velocity into a hundred pitches.
His size and that ease of pitching style seems highly sustainable for a long career as well of course barring something unfortunate.
