Let’s not compare apples to oranges here. Paul is a good pitcher getting his stride. Ohtani is a two way player and is a threat at hitting and pitching.
@@koningklootzak7788 I'm a pirates fan as most of us probably are, and that's so obvious lol. Ohtani being great at both is good for the game. The Pirates won't let Skenes hit so it is what it is. Skenes at Air Force in 2022 was an AMAZING catcher / pitcher. I'm honestly just glad we're seeing one really young solid player showing his skills and obviously one of the best in the league doing well as well.
Skenes says, He's a pretty darn good player. He knew that the pitch was right on plate, but its ohtani-senshu. If he got the right timing you knew the power how far the ball can go. What a match between clash of the titans. Power VS Power.
Skenes is a young and a big dude but he throws high heat so much makes me wonder about his longevity. I'm sure he'll add more pitches to his game. Seeing nearly 50 pitches at 98mph or higher is fun but man thats gonna wreck your body.
@@justadudeintheworldman.120 Yep, been too many young gunslingers who blew out their arms and shortened their careers in recent memory. This guy looks special, hope we get too see him play for a long time.
I'm hopefuly that his height kind of illeviates (how tf do you spell that) his pitching speed. Randy Johnson threw around that and his height had a lot to do with that
anybody feel like these reporters just want to get into his head with their questions? Act like they are innocent but want to trigger him on the obvious questions that fans already know the answers too. It must be soo annoying.
He seems very calm and mature for his age. I can see him becoming a great pitcher in coming years.
This guy is gonna be good he’s just getting started

i don't know about that. Pitchers rarely are the same after a second TJ surgery. I don't think Ohtani will go back to Cy Young-level pitching.

Overall Ohtani is a better player.

Yep!
Straight stud. I’m looking forward to watching the Pirates build around these rookie pitchers. 😊

Great game Paul I loved it.

Agreed. 101 fasters 80x a night is great when it works until it doesn’t.

Yes no question. Unless he’s made of titanium it’s only a matter of time until he blows his arm out throwing heat pitch after pitch

Cool vintage quote on locker name plate!
Great smart guy
Awesome pitcher
Congratulations Paul
that matchup was tough. don't even recall who won that game
Skenes 100+mph was nasty but yeah Ohtani is Ohtani
Paul Dano for the Skenes biopic.
If you could do it again will you throw a “splinker” instead of leaving a heater over the plate?
how old is this kid?

Lots of hundo’s today. Let’s go Bucs!
