I watched Sasaki for the first time this afternoon (aside from highlights) and was pretty underwhelmed honestly. Tons of potential but man is he raw and they absolutely rip his fastball. Also looked like he was clearly tipping pitches at times
Yamamoto is obviously incredible

He has A LOT of work to do. Surprising how ineffective the fastball is

He was also like 92-95 today which I don’t think is normal but was very surprising

He has been sitting 98/97 but the velo drop today is concerning considering the dead arm issues hes had in the past

His right to leave. If he'd stayed, then no, he has to serve. So, he made his decision when he needed to. I'll never fault a kid for that.
I served 6 years in the Marine Corps. Served in three theaters of war. I have no issue with this.

He didn’t quit on the Air Force.
He opted to leave USAFA…which was a legitimate option that he and everyone else had. And he absolutely made the best decision.

Exactly my point.

Wait, did you really post a relief pitcher and two guys who were not as good as Skenes at a young age?

I posted 3 former rookies of the year who sucked arse just a few years later.
You saying Skenes is young and is only gonna get better like it’s some guaranteed thing is retarded. Makes me think you don’t know much about baseball.
It’s not like football or basketball where the rookie of the year is almost guaranteed to be an all star down the road
In fact, for many pitchers, their first couple years are their best year, as hitters become more familiar with them and learn how to attack them. There’s countless examples
But sure, go ahead and explain to me how it’s guaranteed Skenes will sit below a 1.96 ERA for the rest of his career.

Crochet is also very good and still pretty young.

There’s not even a debate that can be made Per start he’s best by far.

Skenes is great but all it takes is one arm injury for these guys not to be right again.
Too bad he's wasting away 5yrs with the Pirates. That's like Trout prime years.
Yamamoto might be the man this yr if he can stay healthy.
