Livvy Dunne’s boyfriend Paul Skenes scoops prestigious MLB award just two years into Pirates career
Pittsburgh Pirates sensation Paul Skenes has captured his first National League Cy Young Award after just two seasons in Major League Baseball.
Skenes, who is dating TikTok star and former gymnast Livvy Dunne, is the first pitcher to win Rookie of the Year in his debut campaign and then a Cy Young Award in the next since Dwight Gooden did it with the New York Mets 40 years ago.
The 23-year-old was selected by Pittsburgh with the first overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, before putting up a superb ERA of 1.96 after 23 starts in his rookie season the following year.
In the previous campaign he recorded a 1.97 ERA after becoming the team’s starting pitcher, making him the MLB’s first starter to earn a sub-2.00 ERA since 2022, as well as 216 strikeouts in 187.2 innings.
Skenes is yet to make it into the postseason with the Pirates, however, after they finished bottom of the National League Central two seasons on the bounce with a miserable overall record of 147-177.
An overjoyed Dunne was quick to celebrate her baseball beau’s latest award, sharing a graphic announcing his Cy Young win on her Instagram story and writing: ‘OH MY GOODNESSSSS!!!!’
