Perfect Game Scouting Report 2016: Skirrow has a larger frame with some height at 6-foot-3, 210-pounds. The Liberty commit has a longer arm circle that was pretty rigid throughout the delivery. From the three-quarters slot he has a slight crossfire element to his landing and flashed some command on the arm side of the pate. Skirrow attacked with his fastball that sat in the upper-80s, topped out at 91 mph, early on. He missed with the pitch at times when he would overthrow and pull it off to the glove side, but used the pitch to get ahead and to get out of jams. Skirrow showed a curveball in the mid-70s with some depth and showed a feel to spin it. The curveball had a traditional 12-to-6 shape but he was able to spin it tighter at times for a more slider-like break with two strikes.
