I hope for his sake and for baseball that he does not get injured, but I am certainly not confident he will avoid injury.
Curt Schilling, whose baseball intelligence I respect greatly, posted on FB recently that he thought Skenes would need Tommy John within 400 innings of his major league debut. Just a note from a pitcher who should be in the HOF

That's a provocative thing for Schilling to say, and for you.

Schilling may not have realized that Skenes started pitching his junior year in high school and it was quite limited until LSU. Pitching is his newest position and anything in his favour is that he had very limited use of his arm. But anything can happen. His supposed to be battery mate, Endy Rodriquez, threw out his arm in the offseason and needed TJ surgery.

I doubt he would talk about things he is not well informed about.

He may well see something in his mechanics.

That's pretty funny because I was thinking the exact same thing when I was watching him lol. He whips that elbow pretty ferociously.

I just watched some clips, not that I am an expert in pitching mechanics, but it sure looks that way. He doesn't seem to me (amateur assessment to be sure) to be getting enough drive from his legs.

80K for a card of a rookie pitcher? That’s ridiculous.

"Superfractor"; maybe it's a remake of an ABBA song?
