But on the mound, it’s her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates rookie sensation Paul Skenes, that’s leaving fans in awe with his nasty, mid-90s splinker.

Diehard baseball and Bucs fans probably know about the unhittable pitch, but what about his jet-setting A-list girlfriend? Rob Friedmen, better known as Pitching Ninja, had Skenes ask her how to throw a fastball.

Per usual, Dunne crushes it with her great line at the end, “I’m more of a splinker girl.”

After the red carpet, Dunne, ever the supportive girlfriend, was cheering on her man as he got out of the first inning of the 2024 MLB All-Star Game unscathed, even though the National League eventually lost to the American League 5-3.
