Paul Skenes Superfractor Ends in Goldin

[packs]

I would love to see Skenes be a freak like Nolan Ryan and pitch for 20 years. I guess Randy Johnson was as close to Nolan as I've gotten to see in terms of a guy who throws that hard that often for that long, but it would be great to see a guy with a super arm harness it again.

Look at some clips and would be curious your take on his mechanics.

Skenes mechanics are fine. It is just simply going to come down to pure luck if his body has the ability to withstand that amount of torque on his arm for an extended period of time. Some guys last and some don't.

Did Schilling pointing out any specific flaws, or just that he will get injured at some point because he throws so hard. Isn't that kind of like the broken clock being correct twice a day?

He looks like he's throwing easy gas to me. I don't see the stress or max effort like I do with power relief pitchers.
