Paul Skenes breaks down daily routine between each start 👀

pre-start routines, day one, day two, day three. Like, what do those look like for you? Day one, I call it a spa day. I’m I’m going to the field and I’m not doing anything. Do you throw? You don’t throw on that? I don’t throw. When I was at LSU, actually, we found that my body doesn’t even start to recover until 24 hours after. Day two, what do you do? Yeah, day two is a we call it a movement day. I’m just going out there and I’ll do all my activation and everything and then I’m I’m throwing. It’s basically just moving the body around, moving the arm. It’s funny because it’s, you know, I just threw a 100 pitches and then the next the first day of my throwing it’s like it feels like I don’t remember how to throw sometimes. I mean, so just trying to find the my hand and the release point and all that and then I’ll get a lift in after that. What you got on day three? Uh that’s a bullpen day. That’s when you’re working on your craft. Yeah. And it’s funny cuz bullpen days are they’re pretty short this time of year. Yeah. Just throwing a bullpen day three and then either running or another lift. And then day four is like the same kind of the same thing. Yeah. And and after my bullpen days, I’ll get on the mound. Um I don’t like to spin from flat, so I get on the mound and spin from there. Spin means like work on a couple breaking balls. Just throw a couple Yeah. I just don’t like just with where my slot is, like everything flattens out. Throwing it up. Yeah. So I don’t I don’t get an accurate like representation where my stuff is if I’m throwing it on flat. So do that and then day five I’m pitching. [Music]
