## Resource

Paul Skenes is still a top Pirates pitcher, but his fastball velocity has noticeably dipped this season—from 98.8 mph in 2024 to 97.0 mph now. While team officials say it’s just part of a pitcher’s natural progression and not a cause for concern, fans and analysts are watching closely to see if he can rebound or if this trend continues.
