Paul Skenes is a finesse pitcher, and you're wrong about Paul Skenes. On his way to a Cy Young Award in 2025, Paul Skenes' 2025 season continued to defy the narrative placed upon him. The former 2023 MLB Draft #1 overall pick, a product of LSU baseball, is a command pitcher. Power pitcher simply sells his finesse and craftiness short.
This episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, is a study in control and especially pitcher command. We'll use data from Inside Edge to compare Paul Skenes to Greg Maddux, a more commonly accepted example of a control pitcher.
