Skenes played in the field between starts at Air Force in 2022, and won the John Olerud award as college's best two-way player.

He was the 17th pitcher to be selected #1 in the MLB draft. Here are the first sixteen:

Clyde, Bannister, Moore, Belcher, Benes, Mcdonald, Taylor, Wilson, Benson, Anderson, Burlington, Hochevar, Strassburg, Cole, Appel, Mize.

How many of them will make the Hall of Fame? How many do you even know their first names?

I think he will last more than 400 innings, but I agree it's a long shot for him to be an all-time great.
