This zoom-in on a devastating Paul Skenes splinker pitch will give you goosebumps

Paul Skenes MLB

Pittsburgh Pirates rookie pitcher Paul Skenes has been tormenting opposing MLB batters all season with his devastating splinker pitch.

On Tuesday against the St. Louis Cardinals, Skenes landed a particularly lethal 95 mph splinker pitch on a batter that the broadcast zeroed in on to show the viewers at home just how the rookie pitcher is able to make this happen.

Watching Skenes throw his signature pitch with this view is absolutely thrilling, as his generational talent is on full display as he earns his third K of the game.

We’re sure he’s not going to go easy on opposing batters any time soon as he continues his stellar first year in the big leagues.
