Former LSU Tigers pitcher Paul Skenes struck out eight over seven innings for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the New York Mets on Friday – his tenth career start and ninth outing with seven or more strikeouts. The electric right-hander now has 78 strikeouts in 59.1 career innings, setting a major league record for most strikeouts in a player’s first ten games. Skenes was the first overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft out of LSU, where he dominated to the tune of a 13-2 record with a 1.69 ERA and an astonishing 209 strikeouts in 122.2 innings pitched. He previously pitched at Air Force, where he won the John Olerud Award as the best two-way player in college baseball in 2022.
