Indianapolis has this guy who throws 101 mph as a former No. 1 overall pick in the draft. He dates a national champion gymnast he went to school with where he also won a national championship at LSU as the nation’s best pitcher. He has a mustache fit for the 80s and a strikeout strut fit for any generation. A talent any franchise would dream of.
His name is Paul Skenes. You may have heard of him. But soon, you very well may see him on a mound near you. Enough of the buildup, there’s a good chance Skenes is not weeks, but days away from pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park.
