Skenes os the best pitcher we've ever seen. Not exactly a typical Friday starter.

And no, we would not have made a Super with him. We'd have made a regional yeah, but you've got to remember LSU had a much better lineup and theor pitching staff behind Skenes turned it on in the postseason in a way our staff would not have.

7 innings of elite pitching doesn't make a 13th in the SEC team and turn them into a top 16 national team. Skenes wouldn't have saved OM or Mizzou either, for example. But regardless we aren't getting a Skenes this class so why bring him up as an example?
