Paul Skenes Strikes a Deal: Will He Dominate or Fade Under Pirates’ Watchful Eye?
Skenes has taken the high road amid his team’s struggles, to the point that Kelly needs to remind himself that Skenes just turned 23 less than two months ago.
“He’s wise beyond his years,” Kelly said. “The maturity level he shows when he’s out there, really, I don’t remember seeing anybody in my time (who’s had that).”
The Pirates are relying on it as they try to help him navigate his first full season in the big leagues. He bought in — begrudgingly at first — to the plan to monitor his workload as a rookie. This year, he wanted to take the ball and let it rip.
