Done anything interesting in the past year and a half?
Here is the short list of what 22-year-old Paul Skenes has done in the past 17 months: won the College World Series at LSU, was drafted first overall by the Pittsburgh Pirates, signed the largest bonus in draft history ($9.2 million), started the All-Star Game after just 11 starts in the majors, posted the lowest ERA by a rookie pitcher in the 112-year official history of earned runs (1.96, minimum 20 starts) and Monday night won the National League Rookie of the Year Award. He is also a finalist for the NL Cy Young Award, to be announced Wednesday.
