Episode Details

Paul Skenes, the Pirates’ ace and three-time All-Star, is set to represent the National League at the All-Star Game—but his recent season has been rocky. After a dominant start with an ERA under 1.00 in his first eight outings, he’s fallen into a slump, posting a 5.36 ERA over his last nine starts and going winless. His latest outing saw a career-high eight runs against the Phillies, with more walks and homers than earlier in the year. Yet his advanced metrics still scream elite, and Skenes remains confident his true talent shines through the rough patches. The Pirates are banking on him to rediscover his early-season form and finish strong.
