Pirates stud Paul Skenes announced on MLB Network on Tuesday that he will be participating in the 2026 WBC for the United States, where he will likely be near -- or at -- the front of the rotation. The 2024 National League Rookie of the Year will now get a chance to take his show from Pittsburgh to the international stage.

海盜隊的王牌投手Paul Skenes週二在MLB Network上宣布，他將代表美國參加2026年世界棒球經典賽，屆時他很可能會擔任美國隊前段輪值的角色，這位2024年國聯新人王將有機會把他的表現從匹茲堡帶到國際舞台

“If I ever have the opportunity to do this, I’m going to,” Skenes said during Tuesday’s episode of MLB Central.

Skenes在週二播出的《MLB Central》中表示：「如果有機會參加這樣的比賽，我一定會參加」

It has been just over a year since Skenes made his Major League debut, going from the top pitching prospect of his generation to one of the top arms in the game. He came into the year a Cy Young contender. In his 32 career starts, Skenes has gone 14-7 with a 2.16 ERA while fanning 223 over 187 2/3 innings with a sensational 7.3 WAR.

Skenes登上大聯盟舞台至今才剛滿一年，從一代最頂尖的投手新秀，迅速成長為當今最頂尖的投手之一，他本季開打前就已被視為賽揚獎的有力競爭者。

截至目前為止，Skenes生涯32場先發戰績為14勝7敗，防禦率2.16，累積187.2局投球中送出223次三振，WAR高達7.3，表現相當驚人

Skenes’ love of country is well known, starting his collegiate baseball journey at the Air Force Academy and now working with the Gary Sinise Foundation to help veterans, first responders and their families. This will be the first World Baseball Classic since he entered the league as the first overall Draft pick in 2023.

Skenes對國家的熱愛眾所皆知，他在空軍官校展開大學棒球之路，如今也與Gary Sinise Foundation合作，幫助退伍軍人、第一線應變人員及其家庭，這將是他自2023年以選秀狀元身份進入大聯盟後，首次參加世界棒球經典賽

“When I was coming through high school,” Skenes said, “the thing that I thought I was going to be doing right now was flying jets rather than playing in Major League Baseball stadiums against the best of the best.

Skenes說：「我在高中時，以為我現在會做的事情是駕駛戰機，而不是在大聯盟球場裡與世界頂尖球員交手。」

“This is one thing as a fan of the game, watching the previous World Baseball Classics, that I was like, ‘If I ever get the chance to do this, I'm never saying no.’ So this is going to be the first one.”

「我一直是棒球的粉絲，過去觀看世界棒球經典賽時，我就想：『如果有一天我能參加這種比賽，我絕對不會說不。』所以這將會是我第一次參賽」

Skenes will help anchor an American team that is looking to rebound after finishing runner-up to Japan in 2023. That Classic ended in epic fashion, as Shohei Ohtani fanned Mike Trout in an all-time showdown.

Skenes將成為美國隊的重要先發投手之一，幫助球隊在2023年輸給日本、屈居亞軍後捲土重來，上屆經典賽以一個經典場面收尾：大谷翔平三振隊友鱒魚，堪稱歷史級對決

“It was a pretty cool moment to watch it come down to those guys,” he said. “And again, it's the biggest moment in baseball.”

「看到最終由那兩位對決來決勝負，真的非常酷。說到底，那就是棒球裡最重大的時刻之一」
