re: Throwing 98MPH+ and making contact

You aren’t missing anything. I didn’t mean to imply that he hasn’t looked good. But as the original poster implied, they were able to at least foul off a lot of Skenes’ 98 and 99 mph offerings. Seemed like he could have pulled the string at 0-2 and sat them down rather than throw 3-4 extra pitches per batter.
