On a new edition of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon, Jason and Mike react to the Pirates win over the Dodgers AKA the Paul Skenes vs. Shohei Ohtani showdown and explain why Paul Skenes rise to fame is similar to Stephen Strasburg's.
Jason Smith: "There’s no one that’s come into the league with this kind of hype and interest since Stephen Strasburg. Skenes is incredible, hes throwing 102-103 mph effortlessly. The first at bat against Shohei Ohtani made me realize, I hadn’t seen Ohtani over matched in a long time."
Mike Harmon: "The excitement and anticipation is definitely real surrounding Paul Skenes."
