The ace who won everything early, and the year that got hard
Paul Skenes did something baseball had not seen since Dwight Gooden in 1984 and 1985: he won Rookie of the Year in 2024 with a 1.96 ERA, then won the National League Cy Young Award unanimously in 2025 with a 1.97 ERA and the ERA title to go with it. Two seasons, two trophies, three All-Star nods before his 24th birthday. That is the player whose #30 jersey you are thinking about buying.
Now the honest part, because you deserve it. His 2026 has been a fight. Through 26 starts he is 9-11 with a 3.95 ERA, 139 innings and 171 strikeouts, and the shape of the season tells the story: a 1.98 ERA across his first nine starts, then 5.20 over the next fifteen, and a rough patch in August that included 4.1 innings and three earned runs against Detroit on August 19, a game the Pirates somehow won 4-3 on a walk-off. His strike rate has slipped to 46 percent, his walk rate is the worst of his career, and his fastball has ticked from 98.2 down to 96.8 miles per hour. Manager Don Kelly has been managing his workload carefully in a lost summer, and even with all of that, the 171 strikeouts are still among the National League leaders and he was named an All-Star for the third straight year.
Here is why I would still buy the jersey. He is pre-arbitration, under club control through 2030, so the #30 in black and gold is a long story, not a one-summer fling. The shelf below is nine jerseys strong, everything at $76.99 flat except the youth City Connect at $69.99, spanning the Home Limited, the brand-new 2026 City Connect black, the USA Baseball World Baseball Classic editions and the 2024 All-Star navy from his rookie honors.
Paul Skenes, in a nutshell
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Who is Paul Skenes? | The Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander and the #1 overall pick in 2023. He won the 2024 NL Rookie of the Year and the 2025 NL Cy Young Award unanimously, and he is a three-time All-Star. |
| What number does he wear? | #30, for the Pirates and for USA Baseball. Every jersey in this hub carries #30. |
| How is his 2026 season going? | Through 26 starts he is 9-11 with a 3.95 ERA, 139 innings and 171 strikeouts. A 1.98 ERA over his first nine starts was followed by a 5.20 stretch, so the year has been a fight, but the strikeouts are still among the NL leaders. |
| What has he won? | The 2024 NL Rookie of the Year at 1.96 and the 2025 Cy Young Award, unanimously, with the ERA title at 1.97. He is the first pitcher since Dwight Gooden in 1984-85 to win Rookie of the Year and the Cy Young in consecutive seasons. |
| How long is he under control? | He is pre-arbitration in 2026 with club control through 2030. Free agency is years away, which makes the #30 jersey a long-term buy. |
| Where can I see the full lineup? | The Pittsburgh Pirates collection holds the full team line, the MLB Jersey collection covers every team, and the custom jerseys collection lets you put any name and number on any style. |
