Another big accolade for Pirates pitching phenom Paul Skenes.
The flame throwing righty is one of three players featured on the cover of “MLB The Show 25”.
The new video game also features Cincinnati Reds star Elly De La Cruz and Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson.
Skenes helps highlight the talented young players of today’s MLB.
A release from the show explains why he’s one of the cover stars.
“He capped off an incredible 2024 season by earning National League Rookie of the Year honors and being named to the All-MLB First Team. His story and skillset align perfectly with Road to the Show, where you can chart your own path to greatness.”
You can pre-order the video game on February 4 and it will be available on March 18.
MLB The Show is available on most gaming consoles.
Skenes joins Andrew McCutchen as the only two Pirates to ever grace the cover of the popular game.
McCutchen was the cover star in 2013.
