Wow!! What a bright future Paul has! He has talent and size. I worked with his father in the late 80s to early 90s and we were good friends. I wish Paul well and will be pulling for him in the pros.
Great video as always man, and thanks a lot for throwing my comment in the vid! Wasn't expecting it whatsoever but it definitely made my day 10x better! Regarding Skenes, he just has everything you want in a star pitcher. Great stuff and a good pitch mix, an insane mental makeup (I'm liking his swagger and ability to call other teams out, like Ole Miss this weekend), and he's a proven winner everywhere he's been. He has definitely been one of my favorite prospects to follow the past few years and was stoked to see you drop a vid on him. Keep killing it on here!
LSU had the best players hands down from baseball, & basketball, to football and volleyball they have some beast at LSU. Definitely one of the best collages for sports!
It’s amazing how Dylan Crews is MASHING and that he is by far the favorite pick in Pittsburgh for #1. But if Skenes is this nice wtf are they doing at LSU. Rooting for this guy
Arkansas only got 1 earned run and 2 hits when facing Skenes, he struck out 12, that's dominance, 8 runs were scored and loss was recorded on LSU's garbage bullpen
Can't wait for Pittsburgh to develop this young arm like they've done with......what's his name.....? Pittsburgh will be where he plays his rookie contract; his tenure there will be an audition for the big money clubs to come along and back up the truck in a few years. Could be wrong.
Paul Skenes....21.....drafted #1 or #2. A couple years in the minors. Dwight Gooden.....19.......Cy Young award runner up. ......20......Cy Young winner. Context in the world of internet hyperbole.
Idk there other gm Huntington did that but cherington signed reynolds to a 134 million dollar contract and they have the money the owner just pockets it
Skenes will develop elbow trouble with that weirdo delivery and throwing everything 100 mph.. Strasburg all over.. won't be the best pitcher, that will be the guy from Florida that Atlanta took..no one even knew who Skenes was last year
This is just false. If you’ve watched him pitch all year you would know his 100mph pitch is EFFORTLESS. He doesnt try to throw it that hard it just happens. He doesnt change anything between pitches. 1 pitch might be 98 the next 102. He literally threw 40 pitches over 100mph cs wake forest. He will have no issue

Watching this on draft night, I am SO excited to have him come to Pittsburgh. Could not be more pumped for this guy

Glad you enjoyed it! Guy’s a beast

As a pirates fan I want Skenes on our team
Crews is a great player but I agree, give me Skenes! He expressed an interest in hitting in the majors too
Love this comment now as a Bucco’s fan!!! This kid will be special. Hopefully, they can build a contender around the young guys who look good.

From a scout at the regionals in Baton Rouge it’s a 50/50 toss up between skenes and crews to the pirates
#4 to Texas
Nats are building some young studs. Skenes, Crews, Dollander, and Langford, will make there farm system crazy.
Paul says get your trash out my way, he can go in now!
Wonder if he’ll go Friday against Tulane or if they’ll save him for Oregon St…
I remember Arkansas had no problem hitting and winning the game which skene's pitched.
Arkansas only got 1 earned run and 2 hits when facing Skenes, he struck out 12, that's dominance, 8 runs were scored and loss was recorded on LSU's garbage bullpen
If you’re gonna try and speak atleast speak facts. Skenes dominated Arkansas in the first game they played. LSU’s bullpen screwed the pooch
Jackson, Ark is trash fire your coach !!
Pirates #1 pick.......YES !!!!!
i could be wrong but i think skenes was only sitting at 95-96 mph last year at air force
Sitting in that range yes, but he said he hit 100 his freshman year, in interviews
@@TheCouchGM ahhh 10-4
Training with the Twins former pitching coach at LSU has helped tremendously.
Future Washington National
Someone called him the “most Mike Rizzo prospect ever.”
Unless he goes to the pirates
Mariners
@@Manglor824 he’s going either 1 or 2 that’s either Pittsburgh or Washington
@@jasonmorgan1768 Yeah, you're right I checked it out.
Why didn’t air force do that.

sounds like the pirates got anonther ohtani i like it.
Please tigers 🤞
Some LSU Goons!!!

Can’t wait for the Tigers to draft him and then he can spend his first 3 seasons injured while we continue to lose 100 games every year!
He won’t make it past the Nationals
lfg!!!!!!!
He has no chin
He wont be in Pittsburgh long, because they won't Pay Him!!!,Hell they'll be lucky to sign him,after drafting him!!!
You're half right. It was already worked out before the draft. No team has spent more in the draft the past 5 years than the Pirates!
Idk there other gm Huntington did that but cherington signed reynolds to a 134 million dollar contract and they have the money the owner just pockets it
