## Resource

Alex Stumpf breaks down the evolution of Paul Skenes’ pitch mix in 2026 and questions whether the Pirates ace is fully utilizing the devastating arsenal that made him nearly untouchable last season. It’s a deep dive into changeup usage, missing breaking balls, and whether an even better version of Skenes still exists.
