On the Braves telecast today, in which Skubal is pitching for the Tigers, the announcers are talking about how Skubal really wanted to go to BYU coming out of high school. The BYU coaches weren't interested, so he went to the only school to offer him a scholarship (Seattle U). He was ultimately drafted in the 9th (?) round out of Seattle and is now one of the best pitchers in the AL. The announcers even joked that the BYU coaches don't like hearing this story. Just curious if anyone knows if he's LDS, why he was interested in BYU (he's from Hayward, CA), etc.
