B/R AM: MLB's Best Pitcher is 22

Not very hot take: The best/most exciting pitcher in MLB right now is a 22-year-old who was pitching for LSU last year.

Since Pittsburgh called up Paul Skenes on May 8 ...

• He's 5-0 with a 2.12 ERA, second-best in MLB
• He has the eighth-most K's through 10 starts ever
  
• He has the MVPitch in MLB
  

Bonus: In June, he K'd Shohei Ohtani on 3 pitches, all 100-plus MPH.

He's an All-Star as of last night, a candidate to start the game, and he's also reviving Pittsburgh baseball.

• Home attendance overall: 21,417
• Home attendance for Skenes' start on Friday: 37,037
