Paul Skenes is one of the best pitchers in college baseball right now. The LSU righty, a transfer from Air Force, was one of the most sought-after players in the transfer portal this past offseason. This past week especially, he showed why.
Skenes pitched 6 innings, allowing just 1 hit with 13 strikeouts, zero walks and zero runs allowed and 19 batters faced. in doing so, he led the Tigers to a 12-2 win over Butler Friday.

The Tigers are No. 1 for a reason. Skenes leads an impressive pitching unit for Jay Johnson and Co, while Dylan Crews leads the team at the plate. The Tigers have lost just once this season, dropping to Iowa on Feb. 25.
LSU currently leads Butler 9-0, looking to improve to 11-1 on the year.
