How to watch Paul Skenes make his Single-A debut on Tuesday night

Paul Skenes will make his Single-A debut with the Bradenton Marauders in a game that’s free to stream.

Former LSU Tiger and No. 1 overall 2023 MLB draft pick Paul Skenes will make his debut in Single-A with the Bradenton Marauders, a minor league affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

LSU fans can watch Skenes’ debut for free in what will be the Minor League Free Game of the Day. The stream will be available on MLB.com and MLB.TV for the game against the Lakeland Flying Tigers, which begins at 5:30 p.m. CT.

Don’t expect Skenes to see a ton of action in the game, though. He earned the call-up after pitching just one inning — a 1-2-3 affair that took just 11 pitches — at the rookie level.

Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said the club will be “very conservative” when it comes to Skenes’ workload after he pitched a full collegiate season already this summer. He may not see more than 20 innings the rest of the way.

Skenes could be on the fast track through the minor leagues, and LSU fans will get a glimpse of him against some better professional hitters on Tuesday.
