No. 1 Draft pick already dominating pro hitters with triple-digit heat
Skenes began his outing by getting center fielder Byron Chourio to ground out on a 99 mph four-seam fastball. Three pitches later, Skenes induced a flyout off the bat of shortstop Brandon Winokur. The right-hander concluded his brief outing by striking out designated hitter Walker Jenkins, the fifth overall pick in this year's Draft, with an elevated 99 mph four-seam fastball.
In total, Skenes threw 11 pitches, eight of which he landed for strikes. Of those 11 pitches, Skenes fired 10 fastballs that sat in the 99- to 101-mph range. Skenes broke a bat as well.
This outing marked Skenes' first appearance in game action since June 22, when the former LSU star threw eight scoreless innings against Wake Forest during the College World Series.
