Paul Skenes Slump Raises Concerns | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Paul Skenes is hitting a rough patch after dominating as the Pirates’ top draft pick — his ERA’s over five in 15 starts, velocity’s down, and his changeup’s less effective. He’s walking more batters than usual, including rare triple-walk innings. Analysts wonder if this is a fluke or sign of deeper trouble, but there’s no injury concern yet. With a 9-10 record and no playoff hopes, the Pirates are focused on his long-term health and return to form for future seasons.
