## Resource

Paul Skenes is hitting a rough patch in 2026, surrendering four runs in five innings in his last start and going winless in over a month and a half — the toughest stretch of his young MLB career. Despite the dip in ERA and recent struggles to finish batters, his underlying stats remain elite, and he’s still throwing hard, deep into games. With a positive mindset and strong metrics backing him, Skenes is still on track for an All-Star nod and a rebound before the break.
