ho ranks first in the Major League Baseball's pitching prospects, made his debut.
He made a fastball show.
Skins made his big league debut at a home game against the 2024 MLB Chicago Cubs at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on the 12th (Korea time). He played a total of four innings, recording six hits, two walks, seven strikeouts, and three runs.
As is well known, he overwhelmed his opponents. He also minimized the number of lost points in times of crisis. However, he suddenly faltered in the top of the fifth inning, allowing consecutive on-base hits, and exited the mound at such a situation. The number of lost points increased as a relief pitcher allowed his flagship runner to score.
In the top of the first inning, Skins threw five four-seam fastballs for more than 100 miles from the game against the first batter, Mike Tuckman. With the ball count at 3-ball-2 strikeout, Skins struck out his first career record in the MLB. Skins also swung and missed in the game against Seiya Suzuki. Two outs later, he allowed a walk to Cody Bellinger, but ended the first inning with Christopher Monell hitting a fly ball to center field.
In the second inning, he faced a crisis. He gave up four balls to Nico Horner and a walk to Michael Bush in the absence of a runner with one out. Myles Mastroboni, who he faced in the situation, had his first hit in the MLB. A low slider he threw in his favor (0 ball - 2 strikes) was targeted and went out to the right field.
In this situation, Skins struck out Jan Gomes. His second opponent, Tuckman, also grounded out to second.
Skins, who struck out the leadoff hitter Suzuki and the follow-up Bellinger in the third inning, respectively, got a hit by Morel, but he succeeded in stopping the steal during the follow-up batter's game and continued the scoreless run.
Pittsburgh's batters took a 4-0 lead with Connor Joe hitting a three-run homer and O'Neill Crews hitting a back-to-back homer in the third inning of offense. Chances are high that Skins will win his debut game.
However, in the top of the fourth inning, Skins hit a home run by Horner without a runner with one out. The slider went into the middle. He hit his first home run and lost the first run.
After finishing the fourth inning without an additional run, Skins suddenly faltered in the fifth inning with the batting lineup supporting two more runs to take a 6-1 lead. A splitter in the game against the leadoff hitter Tuckman was attacked, leading to a double to the right, and Suzuki also got an infield hit. Pittsburgh manager Derek Shelton replaced the pitcher with Kyle Nicholas in the situation. The changed pitcher struck out Bellinger and Morel in succession, but gave up four balls to Ian Happ and even gave up consecutive walks to Horner and Bush, allowing two runners left by Skins to score.
Skins is one of the most promising players in the first round of the 2023 Rookie Draft and is wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates uniform. He received 9.2 million U.S. dollars in down payment (Signing Punners) alone. He is a pitcher who throws fastballs at 160km/h without difficulty.
Skins showed off his strengths even in his debut game. He struck out against Gomes in the second inning with the bases loaded in the middle of the game, and his fastball (162.9 km/h) was the fastest among the pitches a Pittsburgh starting pitcher has struck out since 2008. On the day, Skins threw 17 pitches over 100 miles. A monster pitcher made it to the big league. 토토사이트
