Paul Skenes Shines at All-Star Game | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Paul Skenes is lighting up the majors and the All-Star Game, leading the NL in ERA with a jaw-dropping 2.35, already striking out 50 batters, and sitting fourth in strikeouts with 119. He’s also second in batting average against and WHIP — all while being just a rookie. Not only is he the first Pirate pitcher to start in the All-Star Game in each of his first two seasons, he’s joining elite company like Joe DiMaggio and Ichiro Suzuki. He’s also the only Pirate to make three straight All-Star Games, following in the footsteps of legends like Rip Sewell and Elroy Face. With a Rookie of the Year and Cy Young already under his belt — unheard of for a rookie — Skenes is rewriting Pirates history, and fans are buzzing with excitement. This is just the beginning of something truly historic.
