Pittsburgh Pirates rookie Paul Skenes, along with a couple of other players, received a special Baseball Hall of Fame honor after the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.
Skenes, the sixth-youngest pitcher to earn the starting nod in the Midsummer Classic at 22 years old, proceeded to work his way through a scoreless first inning against MLB's leader in batting average in Steven Kwan, 2023 American League Rookie of the Year Gunnar Henderson, four-time Silver Slugger Juan Soto and '22 American League MVP Aaron Judge, the league leader in home runs.
Skenes allowed just a walk to Soto, needing only 16 pitches to dispatch the AL in the first frame. Then, the Baseball Hall of Fame came calling for Skenes's hat.In addition to Skenes's cap, the Hall also came calling for the cap worn by Chicago Cubs rookie Shota Imanaga, who joined some rare company of Japanese-born pitchers to make their debuts in the MLB All-Star Game.
