You're Wrong About Paul Skenes | Baseball Bits

PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/foolishbaseball TWEETER: https://twitter.com/FoolishBB __________________________________________ 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. __________________________________________ Max Bay's Dynamic Dead Zone Tool: https://dynamic-dead-zone.streamlit.app/ Driveline's Greg Maddux Study: https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/2025/07/greg-maddux-was-a-unicorn/?srsltid=AfmBOopG2U0fDfmlCGOc43r_URmv3CbqtERJBA7Y8vYkoFBQc1cLpQ6p Soundtrack from Maxo: https://soundcloud.com/maxo https://maxo.bandcamp.com/
