Skenes, Tarik Skubal and All-Star Game
Digest more
The MLB All-Star Game is designed to spotlight the biggest names in baseball, and Pittsburgh righty Paul Skenes and Detroit lefty Tarik Skubal fit the bill.
Prior to Skenes, the youngest pitcher to start back-to-back All-Star Games was the Philadelphia Phillies’ Robin Roberts, who started in 1950 and ‘51 at ages 23 and 24, according to STATS Perform. And while Skenes’ record is only 4-8, that is largely a product of his average run support, which is the third worst in the majors.
