Current Mountaineers in the MLB include St.Louis Cardinals outfielder Victor Scott II, Guardians left-handed pitcher John Means, Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitcher Alex Manoah, Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Michael Grove, Kansas City Royals right-handed pitcher Ryan Bergert and Baltimore Orioles right-handed pitcher Kade Strowd.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are reportedly promoting baseball's top pitching prospect to make his MLB debut as early as Friday.

Skenes last pitched on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers in one of his poorest starts of the year, lasting just four innings while giving up four earned runs in the Pirates’ 14-0 loss. Granted, the Brewers swept the Pirates as part of their 14-game losing streak that was just broken on Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds.
