Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne rocked a black strapless top with a chic Louis Vuitton bag for the Pirates ace's big league start against the Dodgers on Saturday night.
Dunne has been a constant support for Skenes since he made his big league debut in May. She has been present at PNC Park for all of his home starts this season, but this time she made it down to California to cheer for the searing rookie pitcher as he took on some of the best hitters in the National League.
Take a look at Olivia Dunne's gameday ensemble here:
This year, Dunne became an NCAA champion for the first time with the LSU Tigers Women's Gymnastics team. She signed a massive deal with Passes.com after, which helped her become the highest-earning student athlete in America. Last month, she announced on Instagram her decision to stay in LSU for her final year of college eligibility.
Despite all of her individual accomplishments, she never fails to support and cheer for the people near and dear to her—especially her boyfriend, Skenes, who has taken the big league by storm this season.
Paul Skenes has registered a win against the Dodgers this season
Skenes registered a win against the Dodgers on June 5 when he gave up three runs on six hits and struck out eight batters in five innings pitched that propelled the Pirates to a 10-6 victory.
He will definitely take important pointers from this outing and try to register another win against the Dodgers at the Dodger Stadium on Saturday.
Skenes boasts a healthy ERA of 1.99, with a whopping 107 strikeouts and 0.94 WHIP. The Pirates selected him as the first overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft and gave him a $9.6 million signing bonus, thereby making his case for excellence even before he threw a big league pitch.
His pitching prowess and good variations are a boon to his organization that is seeking a wildcard spot in a heavily contested NL Central division.
