Dude got drafted and made the allstar team within 365 days and now he’s starting.

How do the pick starting pitcher? did he win the fan vote or is it higher vote getter available?

Much deserved.
The ASG falls on the day Skenes would start for the Pirates so that helps. But he deserves it regardless.

More than that, 3/4 of the way to the plate you have no clue what direction the ball will go.

He’s pitching, not throwing. And yes he can throw it hard as well.

Pitchers don't have anything to do with fan vote. They get voted in by players and coaches. To be named the starter I believe the All Star manager has to select you to be the starter (I could be wrong here someone let me know)

Regardless it's a huge honor to be selected for it.

I told you guys he’d be a star in the majors but y’all didn’t want to listen.

Imagine if he had started throwing his newfound "splinker" pitch last year...He's making future MLB hall of famers look silly with it
