Pittsburgh Pirates’ rising star Paul Skenes remains focused on the present, rather than dwelling on his future with the team. Despite fans’ concerns about his potential departure due to the team’s quiet offseason, Skenes is optimistic about the team’s young talent and coaching staff upgrades. The Pirates have made strategic moves, such as hiring Matt Hague to lead hitting and Brent Strom to develop pitching, to complement their promising roster. While external worries persist about maximizing their window with Skenes, the pitcher himself is concentrating on the upcoming season without restrictions on his innings. As he prepares for spring training, Skenes aims to play a more active role in shaping the team’s clubhouse culture. By seeking advice from veteran players and embracing a leadership position, Skenes looks forward to contributing to a productive environment.
