## Resource

Pirates ace Paul Skenes took a detour on an off day to watch kids play baseball—and it turned into a game-changer. Spotting the Ingomar ten-and-under teams, he pulled over, not hiding his identity, and soon drew a crowd of even younger players eager for a glimpse of the star pitcher. Reflecting on his own childhood and the joy of the game, Skenes used the moment to reset amid a rough stretch—losing his last three starts and struggling with his ERA. The visit reminded him that baseball is “just a game,” helping him shed pressure. The next day? He delivered a stellar six-inning performance, striking out seven and allowing just two runs—his first quality start in weeks. Sometimes, the best medicine is a little kid’s baseball.
