## Resource

Paul Skenes, a young Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher, is on track to join an elite group of baseball legends. Despite a rocky start, his current ERA of 1.98 places him in historical company, potentially matching Grover Cleveland Alexanders feat of three consecutive seasons with an ERA under 2.00. Skenes consistent performance, with ERAs of 1.96, 1.97, and now 1.98 in his first three seasons, is a testament to his skill and potential. If he maintains this form, he could etch his name in the record books alongside one of baseballs all-time greats. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
