Ever since Paul Skenes was drafted 1st overall by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2023, he was the touted as a generation talent and future Cy Young winner, and he has done everything to prove those reports right.
Although he has been brilliant this season and even being named to his first All-Star game, in the last 3 weeks Skenes has struggling. He is currently going though his first rough patch as an MLB pitcher and fans are getting worried.
Paul Skenes in his last 7 games: 45.2 IP 5.63 ERA 5 HR 40 K 30 BB
