This year has witnessed remarkable cross-sport interactions that have brought joy to fans everywhere. Whether it’s NBA stars stepping onto MLB baseball fields or MLB luminaries trying their hand at golf, each interaction has brought smiles to the fans faces. However, one particularly crossover between the worlds of baseball and gymnastics captured everyone’s attention. This unique connection occurred when the relationship between Louisiana State University stars Paul Skenes and Olivia Dunne was confirmed.

Olivia’s presence alongside Skenes during his games added an extra layer of charm to the spectacle. However, it appears that fans will have to wait several months before witnessing these scenes. According to the latest update, the Pittsburgh Pirates have decided to shut out the college baseball champion. It has ended his pitching opportunities for the rest of the season. Though with Dunne retiring after the final year, she might join as Skenes makes his full-season debut next year.

Pittsburgh Pirates Send Paul Skenes to the Developmental List

In a sudden move, the Pittsburgh Pirates have sent their No. 1 overall draft pick onto the development list. The decision comes after his recent minor league outings, where he claimed ten strikeouts at an ERA of 4. The Pirates gave this update on the Twitter handle. It read, “We have placed RHP Paul Skenes on the Development List and will not pitch again this season.”

The statement further read, “We’re excited and encouraged by the positive things Paul has been able to accomplish in his short time in the Pirates organization. He’s checked all of the boxes we aimed for him to check during the 2023 season. The goal now is to focus on a complete offseason in preparation for his first full professional year in 2024.”

This means the 21-year-old will have to wait for the next year to be on to the mound. It will be a great opportunity for Skenes as he will make his full professional season start next year. Given his girlfriend, Olivia, is also looking to start something after her final year in Gymnastics, Skenes’ promotion syncs with her goal.

Olivia Dunne Is Thinking of Leaving the Gymnastics for Good

Olivia Dunne is currently in her senior year and will graduate in 2024. Because of it, she wants to make the most of it as she will leave gymnastics behind to focus on new opportunities.

According to elle.com Olivia said, “I know it’s coming to an end, so I’m trying to take in every single last memory I can, but I’m also excited to see what the future holds.”
