Pittsburgh Pirates rookie pitcher Paul Skenes says he understands the “root of” a drop in his pitching velocity during the current season. Both outlets report that Skenes believes he has identified the factor behind the change and is working to address it.

While they agree on his assessment that the cause is identifiable, they provide limited additional specifics about the exact reason for the dip or how quickly his velocity is expected to return.
