Baseball player Paul Skenes signs unique merchandise collaboration with Fanatics
Pittsburgh Pirates' Ace Paul Skenes Partners with Fanatics for Exclusive Memorabilia Deal
Paul Skenes, the Pittsburgh Pirates' star pitcher and the first overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, has entered into an exclusive memorabilia partnership with Fanatics. This alliance is seen as a perfect match for celebrating Skenes' impressive accomplishments in the world of baseball.
Skenes, who quickly became one of baseball's most popular stars after making his debut in May 2024, has already made history by starting in the All-Star Game in each of his first two seasons. He is one of only five MLB players ever to achieve this feat.
In 2025, Skenes won the National League Rookie of the Year award with a 1.96 ERA in 23 starts (133.0 innings). His dominance on the mound continued in the following seasons, with Skenes currently leading the NL in ERA (2.03), starts (31), strikeouts (209), and ERA+ (210). He also boasts the best WAR (7.2) among pitchers in MLB, and he's second on the overall list, with Aaron Judge being the only one in front of him (8.4).
Fans can now get their hands on a variety of officially licensed Skenes memorabilia, thanks to this partnership. His memorabilia will be featured in Fanatics Authentic's 'crazy games' product line, which offers fans an array of mystery memorabilia. The 'Emanate' line under 'crazy games' features signed photos with distinct color variants signifying each item's limited-edition status and rarity.
Game-used equipment from Skenes' career will also be available, including autographed and inscribed baseballs, jerseys, hats, photos, and more. The 'Emanate' line will provide fans with a unique opportunity to own a piece of Skenes' historic career.
Victor Shaffer, Fanatics executive vice president, expressed excitement about the partnership, stating, 'We are thrilled to partner with Paul Skenes and offer fans an opportunity to own a piece of his historic career. His talent and impact on the game make him a perfect fit for our 'crazy games' product line.'
Skenes joins a list of high-profile athletes who have partnered with Fanatics, including Tom Brady, Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper, Auston Matthews, Victor Wembanyama, Harry Kane, Sabrina Ionescu, and JuJu Watkins.
With this partnership, Fanatics will be the sole distributor of Skenes' officially licensed memorabilia. Fans can look forward to owning a piece of Skenes' historic career as he continues to make his mark on the MLB.
