Skenes this season is reminding me of Nolan Ryan more than anybody else. Big stocky strong guy, that little hitch before he winds up, that effortless delivery, and the ball just exploding up to the plate. May he have better control than Big Tex though!
Watching him this season is a treat will will probably not see the likes of again.

Nolan Ryan is/was 6’1 200 LBs
Randy was a Lefty and 6’10 225
Pablo Skenes 6’5(6)6 235-240
Looks like he is making his own mold

The coaching and technology is a little difference today. Ryan never had a pitching coach until he got to the Angels. None.
They robbed him of his only Cy Young giving it to Palmer. That was a travesty of epic proportions. When Ryan got older, he REALLY became dominant. At 46 he was throwing 98 and his breaking pitches were unhittable. Just crazy he became.
