Elly is good don't get me wrong, but he's a little overrated. Hes got serious potential tho.
@JohnZBaeZ Says:
Elly just needs to be on base, either by 4 pitch ball or a single. Once there, he'll get to 3rd base. It'll boost his batting average
@Casualcivlifer Says:
Why didn’t you show the pick off play??
@Connerslam405 Says:
Who is better Mitch Keller or Paul Skeins
@JSmooove98 Says:
Wow Cruz owns him
@zachariahswartz5970 Says:
Elly is so good at hitting man.. Anything close to the zone, he was ready to swing at and thats how you gotta be against someone with heat like that.. Elly clearly won this matchup
@powderedwaterpudding Says:
Love these videos of pitcher vs hitter battles.
@darrenlesueur4785 Says:
I hate the way the catcher moves around and puts his target down it makes everything look wild.
@deeezknucks4590 Says:
No, he got picked off skins is still up
@Spazzzz21 Says:
so i promise im not trying to detract from skeenes performance last because it was a pretty terrific one but that up blew a ton of calls last night. I didnt even catch the whole game but saw about 8 different pitches missed, 3 or 4 of them were pretty bad misses too.
@corvaliis Says:
two of the most talked about players in MLB!
One is hitting .235 and the other is some overrated pitcher who throws 100mph like every other pitcher in the league!
LOL
@noksukow584 Says:
They kno how to get me watching naje everything about white vs black 😂
@chadrides914 Says:
If the infielder didn’t make an error I’d say skenes wins but cuz of the error Elly wins this showdown
@barbaraelliott3605 Says:
Elly has one of the most naturally athletic bodies in the MLB. Tatis from San Diego is another one; but he messed it up with the drugs. I am. Cubs fan in the NL and. Yankees fan in the AL, but Elly is just totally fun to watch. I hope Elly stays clean and appreciates the gift he received.
@hateusernames2 Says:
two of the brightest young stars
@urboihaz Says:
not gonna show the pick-off 🤨
@Jal5555 Says:
I felt in the first inning that skenes might have a rough outing, but he did so well. Guy is the truth
@chucky_tth Says:
I just feel like with Elly it does not stop at the AB. I always like to see pitchers instincts and reactions when he’s on base.
@malooch Says:
Why is his jersey unbuttoned?
@Countrybluez Says:
Didn’t he pick Elly off right after that? Why not show that part too? Elly never gets picked off, was his first ever I believe…
@p_hat Says:
forgot to show ellie getting picked off at first when he beat out that ground ball
@adamroderick442 Says:
We landed on skenes day when I followed the Dodgers to Pittsburgh last week the kid looked good the whole town was excited about him he a great thing for Pittsburgh and baseball they beat my Dodgers that day too
@ranger053 Says:
Yogi said good pitching stops good hitting , and vise versa.
@JohndoeGreen-vc9gq Says:
Elly by a long shot
@TalusMcVey Says:
It’s a war and they will hopefully have many battles!!!! Elly is a ELECTRIFIED PLAYER!!! Exciting, skenes is looking nasty, would love to see him experience some long term success
@brianhaidle3474 Says:
As a Pirates fan I can’t wait for these two to be Teammates on the Yankees or Dodgers in about 5 years.
@jasonpoletta1797 Says:
Why is anyone talking about a .237 hitter?
@edwasterfield8478 Says:
Elly is hitting 237. Calm down everybody
@terencew7716 Says:
This was a great matchup
@grants5781 Says:
Rivalries like this are good for sports.
@richardli4038 Says:
wht boys mad their hero couldn’t do it. that’s pure dominican power
@BGID7 Says:
Never noticed Skenes has 2 Timothy 1:7 on his glove 😎
@Aaron-fb1pq Says:
The crazy thing is Skenes doesn't just throw hard, he hits his spots with movement.
You watch De La Cruz highlights and ask yourself how the heck is he hitting .230?
@PlaceStillMatters Says:
Aw. You left off Skenes picking Elly off first base. 😞
Raise the Jolly Roger! 🏴☠️☠️🏴☠️☠️🏴☠️☠️
@UmadBro88 Says:
Is he really 22? I saw his Kenyan birth certificate online and let’s just say I have a few questions……
@numbersandsports4206 Says:
Love the isolating of these individual battles and uploading them. Keep it up MLB.
@CJH5K Says:
Young baseball stars like these make baseball great especially elly because he’s so fast for that height
@scottiebaldwin Says:
Elly knew it was going to be a fastball. “Yes” then “Yes” always means fastball. The first yes is fastball, the second is for location. Pitchers forget this and are tipping the pitch.
“Yes, yes” is fastball. “Yes, no, yes” is also always a fastball.
Pitch, then location.
@cesarsalgadosalgado2199 Says:
Skenes reminds me of Chris Archer
@cesarsalgadosalgado2199 Says:
Bruh I really really want a match up between elly vs Aroldis Chapman
@Trizzer89 Says:
Skenes too slow for the 3-1
@zjjejsnnwjkakkansnjq2708 Says:
New star players
@zoiks6631 Says:
Remember when young players with a .235 batting average and sub .800 OPS weren’t mega-hyped? MLB is very desperate to drum up any interest in its product that gets worse every year.
@chuckwhite3033 Says:
I was lucky enough to see Paul Skenes pitch his last AAA game in Indianapolis. Glad I didn't miss that game.
@KanetsuguNaoe1112 Says:
MLB is really hyping up this overrated young matchup! And let's not forget, both teams are weak with sub-.500 records. What a spectacle!👏😂
@Snizzapsondapetro Says:
Professionals like this make the game amazing to watch. 4 games 30 strikeouts that’s just great pitching he’s not scared to throw in the zone, and elly is not scared to steal a few bases, he looks like he’s flying being as tall as he is . Just some electric players.
