Having burst onto the scene and won the NL Rookie of the Year award in 2024, Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes has enjoyed an even better campaign in 2025. The 23-year-old ended the regular season with a 10-10 record, along with a 1.97 ERA and 216 strikeouts. Despite his best efforts, however, the Pirates endured an extremely difficult season, finishing bottom of the NL Central with a 71-91 record. In the process, they missed out on the postseason for the tenth season running.With his season now done and dusted, Skenes can afford to put his feet up and relax for the next few months. In the downtime, it appears the young ace is trying his hand at modelling, featuring in a photoshoot for LA-based fashion brand "Paige" on Wednesday.Shortly after, Skenes took to Instagram to show off his "fall look", a black denim jacket paired with matching jeans and contrasting white sneakers.
