Analysis
This market shows extreme illiquidity with zero volume and open interest, making the 0¢ price and 2226.7% implied yield on the Yes side essentially meaningless—likely reflecting a placeholder or failed market initialization rather than genuine probability assessment. The 8¢ spread and moderate Cliff Risk Index of 12 suggest structural uncertainty, though with 189 days to expiry there's adequate time for liquidity to develop if interest materializes. For context, Skenes would need to sustain elite strikeout production as a young pitcher competing against established aces, making the Yes side a speculative long-shot despite the theoretical payout.
Resolution rules
If Paul Skenes leads Pro Baseball in strikeouts for the 2026 regular season, then the market resolves to Yes.
