The Pittsburgh Pirates have been in a slump, missing the postseason for the ninth consecutive year, but there’s a glimmer of hope on the horizon with rookie sensation Paul Skenes. After a stellar debut season where he clinched the National League Rookie of the Year Award and made a splash as the starting pitcher in the All-Star Game, Skenes is poised to lead the Pirates into a new era.
As we look ahead to the 2025 season, the question arises: can Skenes replicate or even surpass his impressive 2024 performance? With a record of 11-3, a 1.96 ERA, and 170 strikeouts in just 133 innings, he certainly set the bar high. But the pressure is on—how do you think he will handle the expectations this season?
Moreover, the Pirates have struggled for so long, but with Skenes at the helm, could they finally break their postseason drought? What adjustments do you think he needs to make to continue his success?
Let’s not forget the off-field buzz surrounding him, especially with his relationship with social media influencer Olivia Dunne making headlines. How do you think this newfound fame will impact his performance on the mound?
Join the conversation! What are your bold predictions for Skenes and the Pirates this season? Will they finally contend for the NL Central title, or are we in for another year of disappointment?
