They say that humility marks the success and career of great stars. For this reason, it is a quality that we could highlight in the Pittsburgh Pirates star Paul Skenes, who, taking advantage of the great season he has had and the well-deserved rest he earned, will return to where it all began and support the team that in some way, launched him to fame.
Skenes has a 1.78 ERA in 96.0 innings pitched. He has even recorded 97 strikeouts this season with a 0.85 WHIP, which is impressive. But, as spectacular as he has been, his record is 4-6, largely due to the lack of offensive support from the Pirates.

The 23-year-old is going through a very good moment and he is no longer a promising figure for the future, but rather a player who shines in the present and the fans know it and let him know it quite a lot. The Pittsburgh star will leave the major leagues for a moment to return to college and remember the origin of everything he has achieved.
Great meeting
Paul Skenes will take advantage of the break he was given and will go to Louisiana State University (LSU) to attend the game between LSU and UCLA in the College World Series (CWS). A game that will undoubtedly bring back many memories and the reception from the fans will make him feel at home. It will be an encounter that will fill him with motivation to continue growing in the major leagues.
In a post shared by LSU baseball insider Koki Riley of The Advocate, he wrote: “A source told The Advocate that Paul Skenes plans to attend Monday’s game in Omaha between LSU and UCLA. The Pirates do not play Monday. They begin a series against Detroit on Tuesday“, so everyone is already on the lookout for the player’s appearance.
An unforgettable memory
In the 2023 College World Series, Paul Skenes was a key figure in LSU’s road to the title. His performance against Tennessee – pitching 7 2/3 innings, allowing just two runs and striking out 12 batters – was one of the most memorable of the tournament. Thanks to his dominance, LSU reached the final and then crushed Florida 18-4 to win its seventh national championship.
That same year, Skenes was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament, establishing himself as one of the most coveted prospects in college baseball and catapulting himself to professional stardom.
