It won’t be long before pitcher Paul Skenes takes the mound for the Pittsburgh Pirates, especially if he continues to dominate the way he has to start the season.
On Friday night, Skenes logged another gem for Triple-A Indianapolis, striking out eight batters over 3.1 innings. 15 of his 55 pitches clocked in at 100+ mph, including nine of the 16 pitches he threw in the first inning.
