- MLB. Paul Skenes gives Shohei Ohtani a masterclass in Pirates' shutout of Dodgers
- Pittsburgh Pirates. Paul Skenes proves he hates playing in Pittsburgh even the fans love him
With the NFL Draft concluding on Saturday evening and an impressive pitching masterclass by Paul Skenes on Friday night against Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers, a viral video has emerged from his warm-up session. This isn't an unusual thing in the league or the sport; fans have filmed him and shared similar moments this season. However, this latest particular football throw exercise has everyone wondering about his potential performance in the NFL.
There is significant debate surrounding the quarterbacks in the NFL Draft; Cam Ward was selected first overall by the Titans, and Jaxson Dart went 23rd to the Giants via Houston. Surprisingly, Shedeur Sanders fell to the fifth round, being picked 144th overall by the Browns.
Although Paul Skenes has played baseball for a long time, imagining how he might perform in football is truly mind-blowing. He completely dominated Shohei Ohtani, making him look ineffective in three at-bats during the 3-0 victory over the Dodgers.
The Friday pitching session showcased elite talent, with Paul Skenes and Yoshinobu Yamamoto going head-to-head as the two frontrunners for the National League Cy Young Award. On Saturday, Japanese star Roki Sasaki matched up against Mitch Keller in the Dodgers' victory, which allowed them to tie the series.
Today, Bailey Falter will take the mound against Tyler Glasnow to determine the series winner.
