In a week, Paul Skenes will take the mound on Opening Day for the Pittsburgh Pirates, hoping to build off of an incredible 2024 campaign that saw him win NL Rookie of the Year honors.
On top of winning the award for the league’s best rookie, Skenes started in the All-Star Game for the National League, which is a massive honor for anyone, let alone a first-year player.
The best part about Skenes is that he has barely scratched the surface, and MLB.com reporter Alex Stumpf teases something new coming up his sleeves for the 2025 season.
