There is no chance that Paul Skenes is happy with how the first two seasons of his MLB career have gone, at least on a team level.
Personally, the LSU product has thrived, following up the 2024 Rookie of the Year award with the ‘25 National League Cy Young.

Of course, one player can only do so much to turn around a basement dwelling team like the Pirates, who have gone 147–159 in their two seasons with Skenes in the rotation.
