Skenes Sharp in Spring Debut

S. Samek

Paul Skenes had a successful, if not short first start of the spring. He threw a scoreless inning in 1-2-3 fashion. He even retired number one prospect for Baltimore Jackson Holliday.

He even hit 102 mph. Even for a spring training game it’s exciting to watch. I just can’t wait to see what he can do during longer starts. Seems like every one of his starts in the minors went two, maybe three innings at most. However, it was encouraging to see an easy inning be thrown by Skenes.
