Skubal tossed four scoreless innings in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies. He allowed three hits and a walk, while striking out five.
Skubal continued a strong run this spring, as he now has a 2.08 ERA across 8.2 Grapefruit League innings with 13 strikeouts. The lefty took a step forward last season following an uneven rookie campaign in 2020, and he certainly has big strikeout upside after fanning 164 batters across 149.1 innings in 2021. If Skubal can pitch a bit deeper into games, he could be primed for a breakout in 2022.
