Paul Skenes named Collegiate Baseball National Player of the Week
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
We have yet to see Paul Skenes take any swings from the plate, but when it comes to receiving Player of the Week honors, he is 5-for-7 (72%).
Skenes was tasked with trying to shut down an electric Tennessee Vols team on Thursday night, and he did that. He pitched seven innings and gave up five hits and one run on 12 strikeouts and one walk.
Unfortunately, he was not credited with the win, but LSU did pull out the win eventually. With his performance against the Vols, Skenes now has a 5-0 record this year with a 0.81 ERA. He has 83 strikeouts and only eight walks.
Skenes’ next start will come against the No. 6 South Carolina Gamecocks on the road Thursday night. The first pitch for that game is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT. The Gamecocks have been a surprise this year as they have started the season on fire. We will see if they can keep up with LSU.
For the fifth time this season, Paul Skenes has received National Player of the Week recognition from Collegiate Baseball!
