Paul Skenes was named the winner of the 2025 National League Cy Young Award, announced live on MLB Network by Doug Drabek. Skenes was a unanimous winner, further emphasizing his historic achievement.
Skenes is the third Pirate to win a Cy Young, joining Vern Law (1960) and Drabek (1990). At 23 years and 122 days, he is the fifth-youngest pitcher to ever win the award.
Skenes had a 10-10 record thanks to an offense that provided him with just 11 runs of support in those 10 losses, but the rest of his stat line speaks for itself.
