available credential for a Paul Skenes \nsigned piece is not the award he won in his first season \nor the award he won in his second season — \nit is what he produced across both of them combined, \nat a pace the sport had no framework to measure \nbecause no pitcher had previously produced it. \nThrough his first 25 major league starts, \nSkenes posted a 1.92 ERA with 183 strikeouts — \nnumbers the Pirates organization confirmed make him \nthe only pitcher since 1913 to have produced \na sub-2.00 ERA with at least 175 strikeouts \nthrough the first 25 starts of an MLB career. \n\u003cstrong\u003eThe 1913 cutoff is significant: \nthat is the year earned runs became an official statistic \nin both major leagues, \nmaking it the full available sample \nof professional baseball's statistical record.\u003c\/strong\u003e \nNo pitcher across more than a century of major league baseball \n— not Walter Johnson, not Sandy Koufax, \nnot Randy Johnson, not Jacob deGrom — \nproduced those specific numbers \nthrough their first 25 career starts. \nHis rookie ERA of 1.96 was the lowest \nby any pitcher with at least 20 starts \nin the Live Ball Era (since 1920). \nHis 2025 ERA of 1.97 led all qualified NL starters \nby 52 points. \nThe white Nike Authentic jersey signed by Skenes \nis the on-field format of the pitcher \nthose numbers belong to — \nthe same construction worn on the mound \nwhen each of those 25 starts was recorded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Gooden Comparison — What the Consecutive Awards Mean\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn November 20, 2024, Paul Skenes was named \nthe NL Rookie of the Year — \nearning 23 of 30 first-place votes from BBWAA writers, \nthe second Pirate ever to win the award after Jason Bay in 2004. \nOn November 12, 2025, he won the NL Cy Young Award — \nthe first Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher to win \nthe award since Doug Drabek in 1990, \nonly the third Pirate ever to win it \nalongside Drabek and Vern Law (1960). \n\u003cstrong\u003eThe combination of the two awards in consecutive seasons \nput Skenes' name alongside one other player \nin the history of the sport: Dwight Gooden, \nwho won the NL Rookie of the Year in 1984 \nand the NL Cy Young (unanimously) in 1985. \nIn 40 years of baseball since Gooden accomplished it, \nno player had matched the feat \nuntil Skenes did in his first two seasons.\u003c\/strong\u003e \nGooden's 1984-85 run is still considered \none of the most dominant two-year starts \nto a pitching career in baseball history. \nSkenes' 2024-25 run is now the only other \ncomparable available credential. \nThe white Nike Authentic jersey signed by Skenes \nis the piece from the pitcher \nwhose name now sits alongside Gooden's \nin the record that had stood for forty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAir Force to LSU to No. 1 — The Path That Built the Pitcher\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaul Skenes did not follow a conventional path \nto the first overall pick. \nHe spent two years at the United States Air Force Academy — \nas a pitcher and a catcher, winning the John Olerud Award \nas the best two-way player in college baseball in 2022 — \nbefore transferring to LSU for his junior season. \nAt LSU in 2023, he went 13-2 with a 1.69 ERA, \nset an SEC record with 209 strikeouts across 19 starts, \nand was named the College World Series Most Outstanding Player \nas LSU won the national championship over Florida. \nThe Dick Howser Trophy — awarded to the top overall player \nin college baseball — went to Skenes that spring. \n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Pittsburgh Pirates selected him first overall \nin the 2023 MLB Draft and signed him \nfor $9.2 million — the largest signing bonus \nin MLB draft history at the time — \nthen promoted him to the major leagues in May 2024, \nless than a year after he had won the College World Series \nMost Outstanding Player award.\u003c\/strong\u003e \nThe Air Force Academy years, the LSU season, \nthe $9.2 million bonus, the May 2024 debut — \nthe entire pre-MLB chapter of Skenes' career \nis compressed into fewer than three years \nof organized baseball at the highest collegiate level \nbefore he started the 2024 MLB All-Star Game \nas a 22-year-old rookie. \nThe white Nike Authentic jersey signed by Skenes \nis the piece from the pitcher \nwho built all of that credential \nbefore his 23rd birthday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMLB Authentication\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis jersey has been certified authentic by \n\u003cstrong\u003eMLB
