Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal (28) has regained No. 1 spot in the Major League Baseball`s starting pitcher power rankings. Pittsburgh Pirates rookie pitcher Paul Skins (22) moved up from No. 7 to No. 4.
"Left-handed pitchers performed poorly last season," the official Major League media MLB.com said on Sunday. "However, it is completely different this year. Six out of the top 10 players in the FWAR (contributing to victory over substitute players based on FanGraphic) are left-handed pitchers. In the recent power ranking of starting pitchers, five out of the top 10 players were left-handed pitchers. Three left-handed pitchers have taken the top spot for the fourth consecutive time," it said, unveiling its power ranking in June.
The top contender is Skubal, who has displayed full potential this year. Skubal, who had fallen to second place in the previous power rankings, regained No. 1 spot with two wins and two losses and an earned run average of 3.00 in five games (30 innings) in June. He has posted nine wins and three losses and an earned run average of 2.45 in 17 games (103 innings).
MLB.com said, "He has been listed in all starting pitchers' power rankings this year and finished in the top two for the fifth consecutive time. This is his second time at the top of the list. He is still 27 years old and has been a breakout candidate for the preseason, but he is doing better than that. And obviously, he is the most likely candidate to win the American League Cy Young Award. He returned from the injured list exactly one year ago and has played 32 games since then, recording 16 wins, 6 losses with a 2.60 ERA and 165 221 strikeouts."
Corbin Burns of Baltimore ranked second, while Garrett Crochet of the White Sox ranked third. Burns has nine wins and three losses and an earned run average of 2.28 in 17 games (106 ⅔ innings) this season, and Crochet has six wins and six losses and an earned run average of 3.02 in 18 games (101 ⅓ innings).
Ranked fourth in the list was Paul Skinns, a rookie of the year. Skins made his big league debut in his second year as a rookie draft pick in 2023. He is enjoying an impressive debut season this season with four wins and an earned run average of 2.06 in nine games (52 ⅓ innings). Skins, who was ranked seventh in the previous rankings, elevated his ranking to fourth with remarkable performances.
MLB.com said, "Do you all know how he's been performing so well so far? He didn't have the best ball power in the game against Atlanta on June 30. Nevertheless, he allowed only one run during six innings, and managed to get nine strikeouts in his ninth appearance since his debut. After the game, the manager said it was a "big learning moment" to see him making adjustments during the game. Believe it or not, there is a legitimate voice for the 22-year-old pitcher to start the National League in the All-Star game." 메이저놀이터
