Pitcher Paul Skenes Leaves a Mark with Stunning Season Finale

Paul Skenes ended his season with a bang. He struck out the last batter and left the field with a smile. This wasn't just any season. He had a 1. 97 ERA, something not seen in a long time. Skenes has been amazing since he started playing. He was the top pick in 2023. He led his team to a win. But he didn't just meet expectations. He blew them away. His ERA was even better than last year. He joked about it, but he's clearly proud of his work. This season, he had 216 strikeouts. That's a new record for his team. He also had the best ERA in the league. But his team didn't always win. He ended up with a 10-10 record. That's not what you'd expect from someone with his stats. Skenes didn't dwell on his personal success. He said he just wanted to enjoy the moment. He knows he won't pitch again for months. He wishes he could keep playing. The sub-2. 00 ERA is just a bonus for him. His teammates think he's the best. One even said he's the best in the world. Skenes has shown he can dominate. But he wants his team to be in the hunt, not just playing out the season.
