Rocket-armed Pirates rookie pitcher Paul Skenes showed promise in his debut, striking out seven Cubs but allowing three runs before being pulled. His 100-mph pitches were noteworthy, though not Strasburg-esque domination.
In his second start, Skenes showcased exceptional skills, striking out 11 Cubs without allowing a hit until the fifth inning. Experts lauded his pitching abilities, including a powerful 101-mph fastball with significant movement.
Noteworthy is the discussion around proposed speed limitations on pitches to protect pitchers' ligaments. This comes amidst Skenes' impressive 101-mph fastball and the debate on pitcher safety and performance.
