Skenes' Diverse Arsenal
Despite a final stat line (4 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 7 K) that wasn't as dominant as some might expect—yielding three earned runs over four-plus innings—Skenes' debut was filled with moments of brilliance. His early performance, featuring seven strikeouts and a mere two walks over four innings, was particularly impressive. Skenes exhibited a powerful mix of pitches, including a blazing fastball averaging over 100 mph, a versatile slider with significant break variation, and his distinctive "splinker", a sinker-splitter hybrid. His pitch selection, primarily focused on these three types, showcased his potential to dominate at the highest level.
