Paul Skenes and Tarik Skubal Set to Ignite All-Star Game Showdown—Who Will Steal the Spotlight?
What’s even more electrifying here is their heat—the two are neck and neck leading the pack in average four-seam fastball velocity this season among pitchers with at least 1,500 pitches. Skenes clocking in at a blistering 98.2 mph and Skubal not far behind at 97.6 mph, according to the trusty MLB Statcast. Remember Skenes’ cameo last year? He skirted around a Juan Soto walk without a peep in the scoreboard during the first inning at Arlington, Texas, firing pitches topping 100.1 mph after a mere 11 major league outings—the fewest ever for an All-Star starter.
