Skenes led the major leagues in ERA (1.97) as he went 10-10 with 216 strikeouts and 0.95 WHIP in 32 starts during the 2025 season. He allowed just 41 earned runs and 42 walks over 187.2 innings.

Skenes becomes the third Pittsburgh pitcher to win the Cy Young Award, joining Vern Law (1960) and Doug Drabek (1990).
