Former LSU baseball and current Pirates star Paul Skenes was named the NL's All-Star Game starter for the second consecutive season.

Pittsburgh's Paul Skenes will start his second consecutive All-Star Game for the National League on Tuesday night.

This will be Skenes' second All-Star appearance. In the 2024 MLB All-Star Game, Skenes pitched one inning, allowing zero hits and one walk. The 23-year-old will look to dominate a few American League batters as he starts the game in Atlanta, Georgia.
