Paul Skenes’ reaction to Royals’ Bobby Witt Jr. play at WBC is now a meme
It may not be on the level of the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift relationship, but many fans are enamored with Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes and girlfriend Livvy Dunne, the former LSU gymnast.
Fans watching Monday night’s World Baseball Classic game between Team USA and Mexico came up with a new meme of Skenes, Dunne and ... Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr.
That may sound odd, but if you saw the incredible defensive plays Witt made in Team USA’s 5-3 win, you’d understand.
Skenes had a great reaction to Witt’s play and the Pirates shared this video.
That look from Skenes, who won the National League Cy Young Award last season, is what led to the creation of some fun memes. Here are a few that were shared on X.
“Bobby’s play, that’s one of the best plays I’ve ever seen,” Skenes told MLB.com.
Yankees star Aaron Judge praised Witt in a postgame interview on Fox: “It’s one of the reasons he’s one of the best players in the game, if not the best player in the game. It’s just consistently day in and day out, he does it on both sides of the ball, and he makes plays like that that win you a ballgame. You know, there’s only maybe one or two individuals in the game that can do that, and he’s one of them.”
