Pittsburgh Pirates rookie pitcher Paul Skenes met a Arizona Diamondbacks legendary pitcher.
PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes didn't pitch Saturday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks, but still had a big day at the ballpark, meeting one of the best pitchers to ever do it.
He won four consecutive National League Cy Young Awards from 1999-2002, one of only two pitchers to ever acheive that feat along with Greg Maddux. He also made five All-Star games, led the MLB in strikeouts five times, ERA three times and also pitched a perfect game on May 18, 2004. Skenes is not anywhere near Johnson, in terms of his accomplishments, but he's had an incredible season so far, just one year removed from the Pirates drafting him No. 1 overall out of LSU.
