Paul Skenes making difference early for Pirates

The Pittsburgh Pirates are getting their feet wet for the 2025 season, and a 5-8 start through 13 games suggests that the team is still getting used to the water.

Someone that is a little further along in the pool is Paul Skenes, who was named as the biggest difference-maker for the Pirates by The Athletic contributor Levi Weaver.

I like to think of myself as a creative person and an outside-the-box thinker. I love to eschew the predictable in favor of the underappreciated or unexpected. Routine? Never heard of it.
