In The System: After taste of pro ball, Skenes' eyes are on Pirates in 2024

ALTOONA, Pa. -- Thursday was supposed to be a matchup of the top two picks in this year's amateur draft and former college teammates: Paul Skenes and Dylan Crews. That was called off earlier this week when the Pirates made the decision to place their No. 1 pick, Skenes, on the development list, ending his season.

So for those looking forward to that LSU matchup, like Skenes, it'll have to wait.

"We both know we’re gonna face each other a fair amount in the future, too," Skenes said on the field pregame Thursday.
