As MLB teams reach the halfway mark of the season, attention shifts to the Cy Young Award contenders, particularly among pitchers. Paul Skenes, having a standout second season with a 2.12 ERA, is a leading candidate. However, his decline in strikeouts and worse SIERA compared to last season, along with a less impressive win-loss record on a struggling Pirates team, raises doubts about his chances for the award. Other pitchers could overshadow his performance as the season progresses.
Despite having the best ERA in the NL, Skenes' 4-7 record and declining strikeout and ground ball rates suggest he may face competition for the Cy Young Award.
