Paul Skenes has been named the starting pitcher for the Naitonal League in Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game. It's an incredible, if not all that surprising honor for Skenes, who will be just the fifth rookie pitcher to start in the history of the game.
At just 22-years old, Skenes has earned it. Through 11 starts he's a perfect 6-0. He's given up 14 runs and 48 hits in 66.1 innings pitched and struck out 89 batters which comes out to 12.1 strikeouts per nine innings. Once he has enough innings to qualify, he'll be near the league lead in K/9, WAR, WHIP, and ERA.
