Skenes and Dunne hit the red carpet together on Tuesday night prior to the All-Star Game, LSU royalty side-by-side.
Pittsburgh Pirates rookie right-hander Paul Skenes, a 2023 LSU All-American and MVP of the College World Series, will be the National League starting pitcher in the 2024 Major League Baseball All-Star Game on Tuesday night.
The Pirates' ace will start for the NL in the All-Star Game at 7 p.m. CT on Tuesday at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Skenes received the news Friday from National League manager Torey Lovullo of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who surprised him during an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show.“So well deserved,” Lovullo told Skenes. “We’re super excited to make this announcement. You represent so many great things that this game craves. It’s such a great story the way you’ve come on the scene, the way you’ve done it with such humbleness. It’s noticeable.
Among pitchers who have thrown at least 60 innings this season, he ranks second in ERA and K/per 9 innings , third in WHIP and fifth in K/BB ratio . In his most recent masterpiece on Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers, Skenes threw seven hitless innings with 11 strikeouts, marking the second time this season he exited an outing without having allowed a hit.Zack Nagy is the Managing Editor and Publisher of LSU Country, a Sports Illustrated Publication.
