Paul Skenes Named NL Rookie of the Year

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes was recently named MLB's Rookie of the Year, with his girlfriend, LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, by his side for the celebration. Photos from the event show the couple looking affectionate, with Dunne in a striking red dress and Skenes in a sharp outfit celebrating his achievement with a cookie cake that read 'Rookie & a Cookie.' Social media buzzed about Skenes' seemingly stoic reaction during the announcement, prompting comments from fans who noted his lack of outward excitement. Dunne later addressed this awkward moment, admitting she was nervous while embracing her boyfriend. Both stars, at just 22 years old, are seen as a rising power couple in the sports world, with bright futures ahead. Skenes' impressive season included an ERA of 1.96, showcasing his talent as a top pitching prospect.
