Air Force to MLB: Paul Skenes' Journey
Description
Paul Skenes, now a top pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, began his college baseball journey at the Air Force Academy. He excelled as a two-way talent, posting impressive pitching stats and hitting home runs. After two seasons, he transferred to LSU to avoid a military service commitment, where he had a standout season, earning him the number one overall pick in the MLB draft. Skenes credits his Air Force days for his growth and has since had a successful pro career, including back-to-back strong seasons, the National League Rookie of the Year, and the Cy Young award.
