Paul Skenes may be making another minor league start Sunday, but the Pittsburgh Pirates' top pitching prospect could get called up to the big leagues very soon.
Skenes is starting for Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday – his seventh appearance at that level this season.“We talk about those boxes being checked, would be another one," Cherington said."It’s the first time as a professional that he’ll be starting a game on four days rest. It may not seem like a big deal, but it’s the first time it’ll happen. He’s been checking just about every box since the season started.
The Pirates selected Skenes with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft. The LSU product has been widely heralded as the best pitching prospect to come out of the college ranks since Stephen Strasburg in 2009.has Skenes ranked as the No. 3 prospect and No. 1 pitching prospect in all of baseball. His fastball is graded at an 80, his slider earned a 70, his changeup scored a 55 and he was given a 60 in control.
The 21-year-old currently owns a 0.78 ERA, 0.870 WHIP and 16.0 strikeouts per nine innings in Triple-A. At LSU last season, Skenes went 13-2 with a 1.69 ERA, 0.750 WHIP and 15.3 strikeouts per nine innings. Skenes turns 22 on May 29. He may just be able to celebrate his birthday in the majors, at least based on the most recent rumblings.Baltimore Orioles' Youngster Does Something Not Done in Last Six Years of Spring Training HistoryReport Indicates That New York Mets Could Go Hard After 2025 Free Agent Class
