Paul Skenes’ MLB debut last Saturday received hype we haven’t seen in a young pitcher since Stephen Strasburg in 2010. The Pittsburgh Pirates flamethrower didn’t disappoint. The 21-year-old struck out seven hitters in four-plus innings and took a no decision in the Pirates’ 10-9 victory against the Chicago Cubs at PNC Park.Sporting an MLB Debut Patchon his right shoulder, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 MLB Draft revved up the home crowd. Skenes threw 84 pitches in his much-anticipated outing, clocking 17 four-seam fastballs over 100 mph. When it was announced that Skenes was being called up to the big leagues three days before his first start, his trading cards were in high demand. Skenes, the No. 3 overall prospect, has his 1st Bowman card in the 2023 Bowman Draft set. The base card and its numerous variations were chase cards when the product was released last December. The interest in Skenes cards is just going to keep building with each of his impressive starts. |
