A major league debut is is a major league debut. So, I don’t know exactly. “The hitters a...

Former LSU standout Paul Skenes has officially gotten the Major League call-up by the Pittsburgh Pirates. The team announced the news on its Twitter account on Wednesday afternoon.

Instead, he was listening to his book, which initially seems surprising until you consider that it was probably, in some way, helping hi...

Now, he’s revealed that he has some strong feelings about how balls and strikes are called. While making an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Skenes explained that he hopes MLB never adopts an Automated Ball-Strike System as it looks for ways to improve the accuracy of calls behind home plate. “That’s the challenge system, that’s like the second half of the week,” Paul Skenes said. “They’re trying stuff out in Triple-A right now. First three days of the week are th...
