BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes is focused on becoming a more complete pitcher in 2024. The reigning National League Rookie of the Year says he spent the offseason tinkering with adding two new pitches to an arsenal that includes a fastball that regularly hits 100 mph. Skenes says the goal is to give hitters something else to think about when they step to the plate. The 22-year-old added that he’s hoping to be more efficient during his second season and that he can earn the right to be the opening day starter when the regular season arrives in late March.
