Pump the brakes. He’s a phenom in his first year. The 2nd year is the defining after everyone has faced you and had time to study film

And he needs 7 to match Roger Clemons.

Skenes has had the best start to a career I have ever seen from a baseball player, but need to pump the brakes here.

This used to be a thing

To play at LSU yes. In the history of baseball? That’s a crazy arse statement.

I’ve been a Pirates fan since 1960. Skenes is too good and selling him too much temptation. The Pirates will trade him in 3 yrs.
THEN.he wins 6 CY’s

Whoa! Put on the brakes! All it takes is one bad arm injury to de-rail his career. Skenes is playing great, but this is only his first season. May have to wait many seasons into his career to see if he continues to improve...

I’m sure there’s some guy from the 1880s with a name like Big Mitts McGillicuddy who had a better start to his career

Doc Gooden should’ve won the Cy Young when he was a 19 year old rookie and he did win the Cy Young in his second year when he was 20.

Best player ever ? Babe Ruth would like a word. And not just because of his bat....he was also one of the best pitchers of his era.
