Drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2023, Paul Skenes was handed his MLB debut the following year. He has since enjoyed an incredible rise to establish himself as one of the best starting pitchers in the big leagues.
In about two years at the top level, Skenes already has three All-Star selections, an NL Cy Young award and two All-MLB first team selections to his name.
In addition to his teammates and coaches, Paul’s girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, also deserves a lot of credit for his success, as she continues to be a pillar of support for him off the field.
