Livvy Dunne channels Skenes with acrobatic pitch
It¡¯d be nearly impossible to try replicating the success of Paul Skenes on a mound but Livvy Dunne certainly tried her best.
Dunne, who is dating Skenes in one of the more notable power couples in sports, showed up at Fanatics Fest in New York City on Saturday. Dressed in full Skenes uniform -- mustache and all -- Dunne was filmed throwing a pitch and then showing off her athletic prowess.
Dunne, a former USA national gymnastics team member and a current LSU Tigers women's team member, uncorked a pitch and then did a cartwheel into a back handspring, garnering loud applause from those watching. The velocity on Dunne¡¯s pitch certainly wasn¡¯t there, but she wowed in other athletic ways.
