Pittsburgh Pirates’ highly-touted pitching prospect Paul Skenes saw his impressive scoreless streak come to an end on Wednesday afternoon against the Omaha Storm Chasers. Despite striking out seven batters, Skenes allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and one walk in 4 1/3 innings, marking the first time he has allowed runs this season. The 2023 No. 1 overall pick showcased his electric fastball, topping 99 mph 21 times and hitting triple digits twice. While he remains one of the top prospects in baseball, this outing highlights the challenges that young pitchers face as they progress through the minor leagues.
