Speaker 1:

Welcome back to talking baseball with Ethan. And today, I'm gonna be talking about Paul Skeens. The pirates announced they're bringing up former LSU pitcher Paul Skeens. He was the number one pick in the 2023 MLB draft with a contract that included a record breaking $9,200,000 signing bonus. He has been called the best pitching prospect since Stephen Strasberg, who was the number one draft pick of the 2,009 MLB draft.

Speaker 1:

Skenes has a fastball clocked at 102 miles per hour with a slider in the mid eighties. He also occasionally mixes in a change up in the high eighties, low nineties. In the past month, he's been carving up the triple a hitters and will arrive at PNC Park with a bullet train of hype. That's all for this episode of talking baseball with Ethan. Stay tuned for more music and conversation on 889 the bridge.
