Praise be! It was the obvious choice but we were all holding our breath I’m sure.
Congratulations, Skenes!!!!! Extremely well deserved. And hooray for all of us Pirates fans!!!!!! Becauae due to poor management and disgusting ownership, this victory for this dominant incredible, well drafted, and obvious franchise player all but guarantees that he will be in Pittsburgh for the very minimum amount time before he signs elsewhere.
Well deserved. Huge Reds fan here and I get excited every time he pitches. I know Hunter Greene was on a pitch count during their recent duel, but man that was something to see. Looking forward to seeing those matchups for years to come… unless both our teams trade them, which wouldn’t necessarily shock me. 😅
Does anyone know if the Pirates will get an extra 1st round pick because of how quickly they promoted Skenes? Does winning this award have any effect on that? Anyways he’s awesome best pitcher they’ve had since Drabek
This is Baseball America’s award, not the “official” BBWAA Rookie of the Year Award.
A good honor, but not the one that counts. We’ll know in mid-November if Skenes is the true Rookie of the Year.
