Paul Skenes strikes out seven in MLB debut as Pirates win​



Paul Skenes' stuff was as electric as advertised.

A fastball that reached at least 100 mph 17 times. A slider that left major leaguers shaking their heads. An invention called a "splinker" that is a hybrid of a splitter and a sinker and dips and dives unlike any pitch anywhere in baseball.

Yet even at age 21, the Pittsburgh Pirates rookie knows all the "oohs" and "ahs" and knee buckles a ball that at times seems to explode out of his right hand can produce won't matter if he can't control it.

So while there were some positive takeaways from his major league debut Saturday -- seven strikeouts over four-plus innings and much, much later a 10-9 victory over the Chicago Cubs -- the top overall pick in last year's draft understands there is more work to be done.

He needed 84 pitches to get 12 outs, issued a couple of walks, hit a batter and was charged with three runs. For a player whose workload will be closely monitored, that's not nearly as efficient as he'd like.

Yes, there were moments of brilliance in front of a crowd of 34,924 that included his famous girlfriend, LSU gymnast and social media influencer Livvy Dunne.

LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne is having a lucrative year.

Dunne, who celebrated her 20th birthday on Saturday, leads the top 10 female NIL moneymakers, according to On3 Sports’ proprietary NIL Valuation metric, which measures athletes by performance, influence and exposure.

Dunne is valued at $2.3 million, according to On3 Sports. Auburn gymnast Suni Lee was ranked No. 2 with $1.5 million, followed by UConn guard Paige Bueckers at $816,000.

The rising star gymnast took to her Instagram Story to share the list, per SideAction.com — and tagged her representation, WME Sports, as well as the official NIL Instagram account and LSU Athletics.

Dunne, who is a Hillsdale, NJ native, became a millionaire at the age of 18, with help from her massive social media following and skills as an all-around gymnast with the LSU Tigers.

Dunne is currently the most-followed female NCAA athlete with 2.2 million Instagram followers and six million more on TikTok. Her Twitter account also boasts more than 30,000 followers.

Following the NCAA’s name, image, and likeness (NIL) rule change last June, Dunne began securing a number of brand deals with clothing companies, food and beverage services, and more.
