Scouting grades: Fastball: 80 | Slider: 70 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 60 | Overal
l: 65

After two years at Air Force and two summers pitching for Team USA, Skenes trans
ferred to Louisiana State for his junior season, helping lead the Tigers to a Me
n's College World Series title in 2023. A former two-way player who reached doub
le digits in wins and home runs with Air Force in 2022, Skenes' focus on pitchin
g helped cement him as the best college pitching prospect since Stephen Strasbur
g. So did an other-worldly junior campaign that earned him SEC pitcher of the ye
ar honors while leading all Division I pitchers in strikeouts, K/9 and WHIP. The
 Pirates set a Draft record by giving him a $9.2 million bonus as last year's No
. 1 overall pick and let him get his feet wet with a handful of professional out
ings that ended in Double-A.

Skenes’ velocity started to spike during the fall at LSU. It carried over to hi
s incredible spring in Baton Rouge, averaging 98 mph and topping out at 102 mph 
with his fastball, with a flat approach angle and carry that make it very diffic
ult to hit, as evidenced by a 30 percent miss rate on it last spring. His slider
 turned into the best secondary pitch in the class. In the Minors, it's thrown l
argely in the upper 80s with sharp break that elicited ridiculous swing-and-miss
 rates (62 percent). His 89-93 mph changeup might be his third pitch, but don’t
 be surprised if it’s a third plus pitch as a pro as he learns to land the fadi
ng offspeed offering in the zone more consistently.

At 6-foot-6 and 235 pounds, Skenes brings an imposing presence to the mound. A f
ormer catcher, he’s athletic on the hill, repeating his delivery well and filli
ng the strike zone exceedingly well, especially given his premium stuff. He has 
all the makings of a frontline starter, one who should not take very long to mak
e his presence felt in Pittsburgh.


大致上提到

空軍官校讀兩年以後轉學LSU，轉學前是二刀流，拿過兩位數勝投跟全壘打的紀錄。轉學後
專心當投手成為天才小史以後最好的大學投手新秀。海盜隊去年用狀元籤選他並給他破紀錄
的920萬鎂簽約金，之後讓他在職業層級稍微試一下水溫。

速球均速98英哩+極速102英哩並帶有難以擊中的尾勁，去年春天（在大學）有著30%的揮空
率。滑球被評為同屆選秀最好的變化球，球速近90英哩且變化銳利，在小聯盟有著荒謬的62
%揮空率。第三好的武器是89-93英哩變速球，也有plus等級。

身高6呎6吋體重235磅，站在投手丘上展現驚人的氣勢。作為一名前捕手他也展現不錯的運
動能力，能固定住投球動作並且把球丟到好球帶中。整體來說有著所有成為前段輪值投手的
素質，應該不需要花太久就能讓匹茲堡球迷感受到他的存在感。



大概是這樣
