There's one question that remains to be answered, though: how would Skenes fare against the greatest players of all time. The Pirates ace gets his opponents out on a regular basis, but what would happen if he faced someone like, say, Babe Ruth?
Well, Skenes himself attempted to answer that question when he went on Mookie Betts ' podcast. The Pirates pitcher said that he believes he'll be able to strike out Babe Ruth himself. His solution? Throw something that even hitters today rarely see: his signature "splinker".
