No one really jumps into the mlb and starts to make 30/GS in a season.

Teams are very careful with guys that will go from college into pro ball in the same season. The same way they will be careful with young players jumping from AA to mlb (ie Eury Perez or Bibee).

All that said, Skenes has been conditioned to pitch once every week since February. What he is doing now is abnormal to his body.

Amd all of this has done nothing to reduce injuries, it just hasn’t

You should hold pitchers back based on production/how they feel, but holding them back just because has proven doesn’t help. It’s “doing something just do do something”. It’s the equivalent of wearing a mask while you wait in a restaurant just to take it off while you sit

This is true. I actually expect whoever drafts Skenes to shut him down for the rest of this season. Which IMO makes him pitching tomorrow even less threatening to his future and/or health. He’ll have until February of next year before he reports to spring training and all off-season to recuperate
