Scouting the 2023 Draft: Paul Skenes RHP/1B/DH

 Paul Skenes RHP/1B/DH(College).  DOB:  5/29/2002.  B-R, T-R.  6'6", 235 lbs.

2022(Air Force):  10-3, 2.73, 85.2 IP, 30 BB, 96 K.
2022(Air Force):  .314/.412/.634, 13 HR, 21 BB, 40 K, 182 PA.  

Intriguing 2-way player who transferred to LSU for his junior season.  Scouting reports from fall practice are off the charts and his stock is rising fast.  He's a strong hitter with power but projects to be drafted as a pitcher.  Upper 90's FB touches triple digits backed by a wipeout slider and power changeup per MLB Pipeline.  Imposing physical size.  Prospects Live currently has him ranked at #16 and several mock drafts have him going to the Giants, but MLB Pipeline just released their preseason list and have him at #4 which is way out of reach for the Giants.
