Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes had a fantastic challenge for rival hitters ahead of his second career MLB start on Friday.
Skenes, the top pitching prospect in baseball, put together a solid debut outing for the Pirates against the Chicago Cubs last Saturday, striking out seven batters in four innings of work. That debut does mean, however, there is a growing library of film that opposing hitters can watch to try to figure out the former No. 1 pick.
That is not a big concern for Skenes. Asked about the potential for hitters to adjust to him, the pitcher fired off an awesomely confident quote.
