Pirates right-hander Paul Skenes has been voted the National League Rookie of the Year for 2024, marking a significant achievement in his inaugural MLB season.
Outfielder Jackson Merrill of the Padres finished second while outfielder Jackson Chourio of the Brewers finished third, highlighting the competitive talent in this year's rookie class.
Although the Pirates will not earn a PPI bonus pick from Skenes winning Rookie of the Year, his recognition contributes positively to the franchise’s standing.
Skenes's late call-up did not hinder his accumulation of service time, which is crucial for player development and contractual considerations moving forward.
