Pittsburgh Pirates pitching prospect Paul Skenes announced Wednesday he will donate $100 for every strikeout he throws to the Gary Sinise Foundation.
Pittsburgh Pirates top prospect Paul Skenes will embark on a noble mission this baseball season as he hopes to make it to the big leagues at some point this year. Skenes pledged to raise money for the Gary Sinise Foundation on Wednesday to help support military veterans and first responders. He hopes to raise $100,000 for his cause.
Join me this season as I support the Gary Sinise Foundation in raising funds for our nation's veterans and first responders,' he wrote on X. 'I am personally donating $100 for every strikeout I record this season,' he added, as he advised his followers to join him and make a donation as well. Actor and humanitarian Gary Sinise started his foundation in 2011 after spending the previous decade volunteering with other organizations.
Pittsburgh isn’t expected to go far just yet, but Skenes will likely be able to bring more fans to PNC Park once the call-up is made. Fox News' Bradford Betz contributed to this report. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
