Skenes was the overall first pick by Pittsburgh in the 2023 MLB Draft and made his debut in May 2024. The Louisiana State alumnus went 11-3 with a 1.96 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and 170 strikeouts as a starter during his rookie year. The Pirates went 76-86 and ended fifth in the National League Central.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A little boy is going viral for his reaction to finding a rare Paul Skenes baseball card. It's not "the" rare Paul Skenes card that the Pirates are looking for in exchange for 30 years of season tickets behind home plate, but it's still a pretty big discovery, judging by Champ Stutt's reaction.

The discovery quickly caught the attention of Skenes' girlfriend, LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, who commented on the TikTok video.
