Not very hot take: The best/most exciting pitcher in MLB right now is a 22-year-old who was pitching for LSU last year.
Since Pittsburgh called up Paul Skenes on May 8 ...
- He's 5-0 with a 2.12 ERA, second-best in MLB
- He has the eighth-most K's through 10 starts ever
- He has the MVPitch in MLB
Bonus: In June, he K'd Shohei Ohtani on 3 pitches, all 100-plus MPH.
He's an All-Star as of last night, a candidate to start the game, and he's also reviving Pittsburgh baseball.
- Home attendance overall: 21,417
- Home attendance for Skenes' start on Friday: 37,037
