After Skirrow went undrafted in the 2020 Major League Baseball draft, which had been cut from 40 rounds to five due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Philadelphia Phillies signed Skirrow as a free agent for the maximum allowed US$20,000 signing bonus.[4] Skirrow did not appear for the organization after signing due to the cancellation of the minor league season as a result of the pandemic.[5] He made his professional debut in 2021, splitting the year between the rookie-level Florida Complex League Phillies, High-A Jersey Shore BlueClaws, and Double-A Reading Fightin Phils.

Skirrow pitched for the Canada national baseball team in the 2023 World Baseball Classic.[7] Skirrow returned to Lehigh Valley for the 2023 campaign, making 24 appearances (14 starts) and registering an 8-4 record and 5.84 ERA with 79 strikeouts and one save across 101+2⁄3 innings pitched.[8]

In 2024, Skirrow made 25 appearances (17 starts) for Double-A Reading, in which he logged a 6-5 record and 4.66 ERA with 64 strikeouts across 94+2⁄3 innings pitched. Skirrow was released by the Phillies organization prior to the start of the following season on March 21, 2025.[9]
