## Resource

Paul Skenes, the Pittsburgh Pirates’ phenom, is making waves again—Rookie of the Year, Cy Young contender, and three-time All-Star. But this year, he’s sidelined from pitching in the All-Star Game due to MLB’s quirky rule: starting the final Sunday before the break bars you from the Midsummer Classic. Despite a shaky recent stretch—including a career-high seven earned runs—he’s still tied for sixth in strikeouts and remains a dominant force. Though it’s a bummer not to take the mound in Philly, Skenes’ future All-Star appearances are locked in. He’s young, talented, and this rule? Just baseball.
