shite, I bumped this thread last night without stating that I had updated the OP with Skenes' stats thru the Bama game. I plan to do this each week, for those who are interested. Anyway, check out the updated OP if you are interested.

Dude is incredible. In my lifetime I've never witnessed a more dominant pitcher than Skenes. I'm really enjoying this season. Getting to watch Skenes and Crews wreck shite, along with the entire team, is awesome!

Skenes chasing the strikeout record. Tommy White chasing the RBI record. No wonder LSU is good.

Between this and you starting a thread about LSU not making the CWS, you’re on a roll.

Screw USCe and their Dixie Youth field for robbing Skenes of boosting his K stats

His K/BB ratio for nine innings is unworldly.

Updated post on 5/12, thru the Mississippi State game

Skenes is currently sitting at 152 strikeouts and 17.17 strikeouts per 9 innings.

If LSU makes it to Omaha he will have another 5 starts. If he averages 10.2 strikeouts per game in those 5 starts, he will end up with 203 strikeouts for the season, breaking Ben McDonald’s 1989 SEC record. By the way, Ben pitched 152.1 innings that year (Skenes has pitched 79.2 so far this year). Obviously, if Skenes averages below 10.2 strikeouts per game, he would need a second appearance in Omaha to break the record.

The record for strikeouts per 9 innings (not just SEC, but overall record) is 16.8. Skenes is currently averaging 6 innings per start. If he continues to pitch 6 innings, he would have to avg 11 strikeouts per game to break the record. Lately he has been pitching 7 innings. If this continues, he would have to avg 13 strikeouts per game to break the record. Just for reference, in 1989 Ben’s strikeouts per 9 inning avg was 11.9.

The national strikeout record in a season nationally is 234. It would be an incredible feat to accomplish this. He would have to avg striking out 17 per game for 5 games to accomplish this.

Here are his season stats thru the Mississippi State game.



Here's to LSU winning it all and Skenes breaking both the SEC season strikeout record AND the national strikouts per 9 innings record.

Any chances Skenes would throw twice during the tourney (Wed and Sunday championship)? I imagine not as we wouldn’t want to have him off for the regional. And we’d only do it with a low pitch count (60-80 pitches)

I think it's more likely that he doesn't pitch in the tourney at all than throwing twice

A lot of times a pitcher will skip a start either the last week of the regular season or for the SECT if a national seed is locked up. He seems fine to me but I'm sure the staff is monitoring his fatigue and whether or not that's necessary
