Paul Skenes attended the LSU football game over the weekend with girlfriend Livvy Dunne to watch the Tigers take on Auburn. The Bayou Bengals showed out in that contest with a 48-18 win, but fans aren’t quite sure if Skenes remembers the outcome.
A TikTok video of the professional pitcher is now circulating the internet, sparking a reaction from followers.

“Paul Skenes is in a different dimension.”
“Paul Skenes looks like he’s on another universe.”
“The look on Paul Skenes’ face screams 50-game suspension for violating the drug policy.”
Skenes was an All-American pitcher for LSU in its national championship winning season last year. The righty set a single season SEC record for strikeouts while posting a 13-2 overall record with a 1.69 ERA.
He was drafted with the first pick in the MLB Draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates, setting a new record with his $9.2 million signing bonus. Since, he’s thrived in the minors, moving up through the ranks to end his first professional season in Double-A.
Off the field, he’s made headlines, too, due to his relationship with Tigers gymnast and influencer Livvy Dunne. The pair has been spotted at a number of different outings, most of which involve either LSU or Paul Skenes’ baseball career.
If his on-field success continues in 2024, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Skenes make his way to the MLB level. Expectations are high for the starting pitcher, with many hoping to see him in a Pirates uniform soon.
Until then, it appears that he’ll be enjoying the offseason.
